Allah, Mtukufu, anasema: {Enyi mlioamini! Mmefaradhishiwa kufunga kama walivyofaradhishiwa wale waliokuwa kabla yenu, ili mpate kujizuia (na maasi). Ni siku chache zilizohesabiwa; lakini atakayekuwa mgonjwa miongoni mwenu, au yuko safarini, basi (alipe) idadi sawa ya siku nyingine baadaye.} (Al-Baqarah: 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)

Mtume (ﷺ) alisema: "Uislamu umejengwa juu ya nguzo tano: Kushuhudia kwamba hakuna mungu isipokuwa Allah na kwamba Muhammad ni Mtume wa Allah ﷺ, kusali, kutoa Zakat, kuhiji na kufunga Ramadhani."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

Imepokewa kwamba Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Yeyote atakayevunja funga ya Ramadhani bila udhuru wala ugonjwa, hawezi kuilipa hata kwa kufunga maisha yote, hata angefanya hivyo." 2

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

Ibn 'Abbas, Allah awe na radhi naye, alisema: "Misingi ya Uislamu ni mitatu: kushuhudia kwamba hakuna mungu isipokuwa Allah, sala na kufunga mwezi wa Ramadhani. Yeyote atakayekosa yoyote kati ya hayo amekufuru."3

Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said; "Principles of Islam are three: testifying that there is no god but Allah, prayers and fasting in Ramadan. Whoever misses anyone of them has disbelieved.”3

Tunamuomba Allah kinga dhidi yao.

We seek Allah's refuge from them.
