"Oh you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may become righteous; prescribed for a certain number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, then the same number from other days. As for those who find this very difficult, they can feed a poor person instead. Whoever does good of their own accord, this is better for them, and fasting is better for you, if only you knew." – (2:183-184)
