(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.

Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, 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.

And complete the Hajj or 'umra in the service of Allah. But if ye are prevented (From completing it), send an offering for sacrifice, such as ye may find, and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches the place of sacrifice. And if any of you is ill, or has an ailment in his scalp, (Necessitating shaving), (He should) in compensation either fast, or feed the poor, or offer sacrifice; and when ye are in peaceful conditions (again), if any one wishes to continue the 'umra on to the hajj, He must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, He should fast three days during the hajj and seven days on his return, Making ten days in all. This is for those whose household is not in (the precincts of) the Sacred Mosque. And fear Allah, and know that Allah Is strict in punishment.

故你们当斋戒有数的若干日。你们中有害病或旅行的人，当依所缺的日数补斋。难以斋戒者，当纳罚赎，即以一餐饭，施给一个贫民。自愿行善者，必获更多的善报。斋戒对於你们是更好的，如果你们知道。

赖买丹月中，开始降示《古兰经》，指导世人，昭示明证，以便遵循正道，分别真伪，故在此月中，你们应当斋戒；害病或旅行的人，当依所缺的日数补斋。真主要你们便利，不要你们困难，以便你们补足所缺的日数，以便你们赞颂真主引导你们的恩德，以便你们感谢他。

你们当为真主而完成大朝和小朝。如果你们被困於中途，那末，应当献一只易得的牺牲。你们不要剃发，直到牺牲到达其定所。你们当中谁为生病或头部有疾而剃发，谁当以斋戒，或施舍，或献牲，作为罚赎。当你们平安的时候，凡在小朝後享受到大朝的人，都应当献一只易得的牺牲。凡不能献牲的，都应当在大朝期间斋戒三日，归家後斋戒七日，共计十日。这是家眷不在禁寺区域内的人所应尽的义务。你们当敬畏真主，你们当知道真主的刑罚是严厉的。
