*Let's Get Ready for Ramadan*🌙 لنستعد لرمضان Part 1 { يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ} {أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ فَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُ وَأَن تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ} ▪️This Verse is a proof of the obligation of fasting; therefore, the one who denies this obligation has contradicted the Qur'an and whoever contradicts the Qur'aan is not a Muslim. ▪️In this Verse, it is stated that the *sick person* with an illness that makes it a hardship to fast is not sinful for not fasting, likewise is *the traveler* that travels with all the conditions fulfilled that the scholars mentioned. Allah made it an obligation upon both of them to make up those days later. ▪️Also, one is not sinful to leave out fasting if one is unable to bear the fasting like the *elderly person* who is no longer capable of enduring the fasting and the *permanently ill* who is not able to fast with his illness. Allah made it an obligation upon these two people, that is the elderly and the permanently ill, to pay a فِدية (expiation) which is to feed one poor person for every day of Ramadan.
