3-FASTING IN THE QURAN


O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was
prescribed for those before you, that you may acquire piety
(Taqwa). (2:183)
Fast for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on
a journey, the same number (should be made up) from
other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty,
(e.g., an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to
feed a poor person (for every day). But whoever does good of
his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast is
better for you if only you know. (2:184)
