أَيَّامًۭا مَّعْدُودَٰتٍۢ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍۢ فَعِدَّةٌۭ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُۥ فِدْيَةٌۭ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍۢ ۖ فَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًۭا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّهُۥ ۚ وَأَن تَصُومُوا۟ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
How to read it
'Ayyāman mmaʻ'dūdātin . faman kāna minkum mmarīḍan 'aw' ʻalā safarin faʻiddatun mmin' 'ayyāmin 'ukhara . waʻalā-lladhīna yuṭīqūnahu fid'yatun ṭaʻāmu mis'kīnin . faman taṭawwaʻa khay'ran fahuwa khay'run llahu . wa'an taṣūmū khay'run llakum' . 'in kuntum' taʻ'lamūna
(Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed number (Should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
