?O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you so that you may be fearful. For a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or traveling, the same number from other days. And for those who can endure it, a ransom - the feeding of one that is poor. Whoever does good of his own accord, it would be better for him; and fasting is better for you, if you only knew. Ramadan is the month in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of the guidance and the judgment. So those of you who witness the month shall fast, and whoever is ill or traveling shall fast the same number of other days. God intends to bring you ease, not hardship, to have you complete the period, and to have you glorify God for guiding you so that you may be appreciative.? ?Quran 2:183-185
