Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, the status of the traveler and the sick person in the blessed month of Ramadan is as stated in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:184] the verse.
Answer:
"A number of days." It was said that this means that initially, fasting three days was made obligatory, three days of this month. Then, after that, fasting the entire month was prescribed, because they practiced fasting and became accustomed to it and longed for it, so Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, made it a complete month. Thus, He transferred them from fasting three days to fasting the entire month. And fasting, as in the verse, is written and obligatory upon this Ummah and upon the previous nations, but the manner of fasting differs between the Muslims and those who came before them. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you.

أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَAnswer:
