Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (The month of Ramadan in which the Qur'an was revealed)

Allah the Exalted said:

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدىً لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ

[al-Baqarah: 185] So Allah made fasting obligatory and abrogated feeding, but because the initial obligation of fasting might be difficult for people, they were encouraged to fast and given the choice between fasting and feeding. Then, when the obligation became settled in their hearts and their eyes were pleased with it, Allah made fasting obligatory upon them. For this reason, it is not permissible for a person to feed others while he is capable of fasting. If he is unable to fast, his inability is either permanent, in which case he must feed one poor person for every day, or it is temporary and he hopes for its removal, such as a person suffering from a chronic illness, in which case he waits until he recovers and then fasts;because of His saying, the Exalted:

and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you

وَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ

[al-Baqarah: 185] .
