11. Fasting
١١۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
[Machine] To fast and feed a poor person in place of every day, as mentioned in the saying of San'an bin Sa'd.
أَنْ يَصُومَا فَيُطْعِمَا مَكَانَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينًا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ
[Machine] In his statement and concerning those who are encircled by him, meaning those who imitate him and are unable to do so, it is not permissible for the food of a poor person. So whoever volunteers good, let him feed another poor person, and that is better for him and it is not abrogated. Ibn Abbas said, and it was only allowed in this case for the elderly who cannot bear fasting and for the sick who know that they will not be cured.
فِي قَوْلِهِ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطَوَّقُونَهُ يَعْنِي يَتَكَلَّفُونَهُ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَهُ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَأَطْعَمَ مِسْكِينًا آخَرَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَلَيْسَتْ مَنْسُوخَةً قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَلَمْ يُرَخَّصْ فِي هَذَا إِلَّا لِلشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا يُطِيقُ الصِّيَامَ وَالْمَرِيضِ الَّذِي عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُشْفَى
[Machine] He is the elderly sheikh who cannot fast, so he breaks his fast and feeds half a saa' of wheat for each day, as mentioned in this narration. It is also narrated from him that he said, "Extend for his food and extend for his sustenance."
هُوَ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ الَّذِي لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الصِّيَامَ فَيُفْطِرُ وَيُطْعِمُ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ مَكَانَ يَوْمٍ كَذَا فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ وَرُوِيَ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مُدًّا لِطَعَامِهِ وَمُدًا لِإِدَامِهِ
[Machine] Every day a poor person should not be neglected or abandoned.
عَنْ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينًا وَلَا قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] "He heard Abu Hurairah say that whoever experiences old age and is unable to fast during the month of Ramadan, then they must feed a poor person for each missed day, with a measure of wheat."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ الْكِبَرُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ صِيَامَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَعَلَيْهِ لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مُدٌّ مِنْ قَمْحٍ
[Machine] Anas reported that a year before his death, the Prophet ﷺ had become weak and broke his fast. He then instructed his family to feed a poor person in place of every missed day. Hisham, in his narration, said that the Prophet ﷺ fed thirty poor individuals.
أَنَّ أَنَسًا ؓ ضَعُفَ عَامًا قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ فَأَفْطَرَ وَأَمَرَ أَهْلَهُ أَنْ يُطْعِمُوا مَكَانَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ هِشَامٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَأَطْعَمَ ثَلَاثِينَ مِسْكِينًا
[Machine] We prepared for him loaves of bread and meat, so we fed him the exact amount or even more, meaning thirty men per day.
جَفَنَّا لَهُ جِفَانًا مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ فَأَطْعَمْنَا الْعِدَّةَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ يَعْنِي مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ رَجُلًا
[Machine] "To feed a poor person every day, so feed two poor people on my behalf."
أَنْ يُطْعَمَ عَنْهُ لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينٌ فَأَطْعِمُوا عَنِّي مِسْكِينَيْنِ
[Machine] "In his statement, {and upon those who are able to do so is a ransom of feeding a needy person} [Surah Al-Baqarah 184]. He said that it refers to the elderly who are unable to fast and pregnant women who experience difficulty in fasting. For them, they are to feed a needy person for every day of Ramadan until the end of the month."
فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة 184] قَالَ هُوَ الْكَبِيرُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَصُومُ فَيَعْجِزُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ الْحُبْلَى يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهَا فَعَلَيْهِمَا طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ
[Machine] Amr, who was a mawla (freed slave) of Aisha, used to read, and those who were surrounding him had to pay a ransom.
عَمْرٍو مَوْلًى لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ كَانَتْ تَقْرَأُ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطَوَّقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ
