Surah Al-Baqarah
أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَٰتٍ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُۥ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ ۖ فَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُۥ ۚ وَأَن تَصُومُوا۟ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Ayyāmam ma‘dūdāt(in), faman kāna minkum marīḍan au ‘alā safarin fa ‘iddatum min ayyāmin ukhar(a), wa ‘alal-lażīna yuṭīqūnahū fidyatun ṭa‘āmu miskīn(in), faman taṭawwa‘a khairan fahuwa khairul lah(ū), wa an taṣūmū khairul lakum in kuntum ta‘lamūn(a).
[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.

51) Whoever feeds more than one poor person for a day, that is better.
