Sahih International
Prescribed for you when death approaches [any] one of you if he leaves wealth [is that he should make] a bequest for the parents and near relatives according to what is acceptable - a duty upon the righteous.![2:181](https://df61994948e9a54a5259-ad04094bac72ed4d481dba65a1920e88.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/2_181.png)
Sahih International
Then whoever alters the bequest after he has heard it - the sin is only upon those who have altered it. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.![2:182](https://df61994948e9a54a5259-ad04094bac72ed4d481dba65a1920e88.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/2_182.png)
Sahih International
But if one fears from the bequeather [some] error or sin and corrects that which is between them, there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.![2:183](https://df61994948e9a54a5259-ad04094bac72ed4d481dba65a1920e88.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/2_183.png)
Sahih International
O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -![2:184](https://df61994948e9a54a5259-ad04094bac72ed4d481dba65a1920e88.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/2_184.png)
Sahih International
[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.![2:185](https://df61994948e9a54a5259-ad04094bac72ed4d481dba65a1920e88.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/2_185.png)
Sahih International
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. 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; and perhaps you will be grateful.![](/images/boxBottomBR.gif)
