183. O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before
you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint,--
184. Ayyaman maAAdoodatin faman kana minkum mareedan aw AAala safarin
faAAiddatun min ayyamin okhara waAAala allatheena yuteeqoonahu fidyatun taAAamu
miskeenin faman tatawwaAAa khayran fahuwa khayrun lahu waan tasoomoo khayrun
lakum in kuntum taAAlamoon
a
184. (Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any 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), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of
his own free will,--it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only
knew.
