Al Baqarah

HR Background

اَیَّامًا مَّعْدُوْدٰتٍؕ-فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَّرِیْضًا اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ اَیَّامٍ اُخَرَؕ-وَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ یُطِیْقُوْنَهٗ فِدْیَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِیْنٍؕ-فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَیْرًا فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّهٗؕ-وَ اَنْ تَصُوْمُوْا خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ(184)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Specified days ˹of fasting˺. So whosoever from among you is ill or travelling, he may make up the same number of fasts on other days.[1] And those who are incapable, then for them there is the feeding of a destitute individual (miskīn) as expiation. Then, whosoever does more good of his own accord, so that is better for him. And fasting is better for you, if you realize.

Commentary

[1]

The ailing individual is exempt when fasting would worsen his condition or endanger his life, and the traveller is exempt when he travels a distance of 92km (approx. 57.5 miles) or more.
