قال الله تعالى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ * أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ} (البقرة: 183-184)

Allah, the Most High, says, {O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) selfrestraint. (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.} (AI-Baqarah: 183-184)

قال النبي ﷺ: «بُنيَ الإسلامُ على خمسٍ: شهادةِ أن لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ وأنَّ محمداً رسولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وإقامِ الصلاةِ، وإيتاءِ الزكاةِ، وحجِّ البيتِ، وصومِ رمضانَ».1

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Islam is built upon five pillars: Testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, performing prayers, paying Zakat, making pilgrimage and fasting in Ramada.”1

روي أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: «مَنْ أفطر يوماً من رمضان من غير رخصة ولا مرض لم يقضِه صيامُ الدهر وإن صامه».

It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said; "Whoever breaks a fast during Ramadan" without an excuse or illness could not requite it by fasting a lifetime, were he to do so.” 2
