has made Haram 
Ayah 184
[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever
among you is ill or on a journey [during them] then an equal number of days [are to be made up].
And upon those who are able [to fast, but with
hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a
poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers
excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for
you, if you only knew.

Ayah 185
The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was
revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and
clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever
sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast
it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an
equal number of other days. Allah intends for you
ease and does not intend for you hardship and
[wants] for you to complete the period and to
glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you;
and perhaps you will be grateful.

“Fast when you see it and
break the fast when you see it,
and if it is cloudy then reckon
the month as thirty.”
[Hadith]
“The shar’i evidence indicates that people should not
go to great lengths to sight the moon with these
instruments; rather it is sufficient to sight it with
their eyes. But if a person seeks the moon with them
and is certain that he has seen it by means of them
after the sun has set, and he is a Muslim of good
character, then I do not know of any reason why his
sighting of the moon should not be followed, because
it is still a visual sighting and is not calculation.”

Ayah 186
And when My servants ask you, [O
Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am
near. I respond to the invocation of the
supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let
them respond to Me [by obedience] and
believe in Me that they may be [rightly]
guided.

Ayah 187
It has been made permissible for you the night preceding
fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are
clothing for you and you are clothing for them. Allah
knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He
accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have
relations with them and seek that which Allah has
decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread
of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of
night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset. And do
not have relations with them as long as you are staying
for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by]
Allah , so do not approach them. Thus does Allah make
clear His ordinances to the people that they may become
righteous.

"This leads him to feel contented with Allah
instead of the people, which prepares him for
being at peace with Him alone on the day of
loneliness in the grave, when there is no one else
to give comfort, nor anyone to grant solace except
Him. So this is the greater goal of Itikaf."

And do not consume one another's wealth
unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the
rulers in order that [they might aid] you
[to] consume a portion of the wealth of
the people in sin, while you know [it is
unlawful].
But We don’t
consume other’s
wealth unjustly!
