English translation

2319. It was narrated from 'Aṭâ' from Ibn 'Abbâs concerning this Verse – "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 Miskîn (poor person) (for every day)."[3] – that for those who can fast with difficulty means they find it hard; to feed a Miskîn means feeding one poor person for each day. But whoever does good of his own accord means feeding another poor person. This is not abrogated, and it is better for him. And: that “you fast is better for you” means there is no concession regarding this except for those who are not able to fast, or who are incurably sick. (Sahîh)

Arabic text

2317 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة: 184] " يُطِيقُونَهُ: يُكَلَّفُونَهُ، فِدْيَةٌ: طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ آخَرَ لَيْسَتْ بِمَنْسُوخَةٍ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ، وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ، لَا يُرَخَّصُ فِي هَذَا إِلَّا لِلَّذِي لَا يُطِيقُ الصِّيَامَ أَوْ مَرِيضٍ لَا يُشْفَى "
