In Quran, Allah (swt) has said:
“(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
Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent
down the Quran, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance
and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is
present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but
if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be
made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does
not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the
prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and
perchance ye shall be grateful.
When My servants ask thee concerning Me,
I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every supplicant
when he calls on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and
believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way.
Permitted to you, on the night of the
fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are
their garments. Allah knows what ye used to do secretly among
yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with
them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you, and eat and drink,
until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black
thread; then complete your fast Till the night appears; but do not
associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those
are Limits (set by) Allah. Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah
make clear His Signs to men: that they may learn self-restraint.”
(Al-Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah 2:184-187)
