اياما معدودات فمن كان منكم مريضا او على سفر فعدة من ايام اخر وعلى الذين يطيقونه فدية طعام مسكين فمن تطوع خيرا فهو خير له وان تصوموا خير لكم ان كنتم تعلمون ١٨٤
أَيَّامًۭا مَّعْدُودَٰتٍۢ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍۢ فَعِدَّةٌۭ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُۥ فِدْيَةٌۭ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍۢ ۖ فَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًۭا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّهُۥ ۚ وَأَن تَصُومُوا۟ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ١٨٤
Maelezo
The variation of singular/plural amounts to the same meaning, as it is agreed that each person is liable (per missed fast) for one needy person’s daily food. This ruling applies to those who are unable to fast in Ramadan or make them up later, or who would experience severe hardship due to old age, health conditions, and so on. Some scholars argue that the ruling used to be more open, and applied to another set of fasts before Ramadan was obligated. The two grammatical constructs (‘atf bayan, apposition and idafah, annexation) also give rise to the same meaning.
