Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
For a certain number of days only; so whoever is sick
among you, or on a journey, the same number in other days; and
those who do not have the strength for it must give a
redemption by feeding a needy person; so whoever increases the
good of his own accord, it is better for him; and fasting is
better for you, if only you realise.
Yusuf Ali:
(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.
Pickthal:
(Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick
among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those
who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but
whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast
is better for you if ye did but know -
