2318. It was narrated that Salamah bin Al-Akwa' said: "When this Verse was revealed – '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).'[2] – those among us who did not want to fast would pay the Fidyah, until the Verse after it was revealed and abrogated this." (Sahîh)
2316 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا بَكْرٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، مَوْلَى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: " لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة: 184] كَانَ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنَّا أَنْ يُفْطِرَ وَيَفْتَدِيَ، حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا، فَنَسَخَتْهَا "

During the early period of the obligation of fasting, the fasting had of course been obligatory, but if someone wanted to abandon the fast even without a plausible excuse, he was permitted to not fast. He was, however, required to offer the expiation (Fidyâh).
