English translation

2316. Ikrimah reported from Ibn 'Abbās: "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)."[2] (He said): "So whoever among them wanted to, he could pay the ransom, feeding a poor person, and hence his fast would be complete. Then Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, said: "But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast is better."[3] — and He said: "So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of the month (of Ramaḍan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe fast that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number (of days which one did not observe fast must be made up) from other days.”[1] (Hasan)

2316 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرَمَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة: 184]، «فَكَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتَدِيَ بِطَعَامِ مِسْكِينٍ افْتَدَى وَتَمَّ لَهُ صَوْمُهُ»، فَقَالَ: {فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ} [البقرة: 184]، وَقَالَ: {فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ} [البقرة: 185]
