 Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent

down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind,
also clear (Signs) for guidance and
judgment (Between right and wrong). So
every one of you who is present (at his
home) during that month should spend it in
fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a
journey, the prescribed period (Should
be made up) by days later. God intends
every facility for you; He does not want to
put to difficulties. (He wants you) to
complete the prescribed period, and to
glorify Him in that He has guided you; and
perchance ye shall be grateful.

02: 184
(Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any
one of you is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed
number (Should be made up) from days later.

For those who can do it (With

hardship) (e.g. an old man), They have
(a choice either to fast or not) to feed
a Miskin (poor person) ( for every day).

But he that will give more, of his own free

will,--it is better for him. And it is better for
you that you fast, if ye only knew.
