5839 The captive: when taken literally, it refers to the old state of things when captives of war had to earn their own food, or
their own redemption; even ordinary prisoners in jail for criminal offences often starved unless food was provided for
them by private friends or from their own earnings. (76.8)
76:9 - (Saying) "We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: No reward do we desire from you nor
thanks. 5840
5840 These words need not be actually uttered. They express the true motives of pious and unpretentious Charity. (76.9)
89:18 - Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor! 6122
6122 Kindness and generosity set up standards which even worldly men feel bound to follow out of social considerations
even if they are not moved by higher motives. But the wicked find plausible excuses for their own hard-heartedness,
and by their evil example choke up the springs of charity and kindness in others. (89.18)
90:14 - Or the giving of food in a day of privation
6141 Feed those who need it, both literally and figuratively; but do so especially when there is privation or famine. (90.14)
90:15 - To the orphan with claims of relationship 6142
6142 All orphans should be fed and helped. But ordinary orphans will come under the indigent in verse 16 below. The
orphans related to us have a special claim on us. They should be near and dear to us, and if charity begins at home,
they have the first claim on us. (90.15)
90:16 - Or to the indigent (down) in the dust. 6143
6143 Persons down in the dust can only be helped from motives of pure charity, because nothing can be expected of themneither
praise nor advertisement nor any other advantage to the helper. Such help is help indeed. But there may be
various degrees, and the help will be suited to the needs. (90.16)
107:2 - Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness)
107:3 - And encourages not the feeding of the indigent. 6282
6282 The Charity or Love which feeds the indigent at the expense of Self is a noble form of virtue, which is beyond the
reach of men who are so callous as even to discourage or forbid or look down upon the virtue of charity or kindness in
others. (107.3)
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 3.143
Whoever dies and still had some days of Ramadan to make up
Most scholars, including Abu Hanifah, Malik, and the Shaf'iyyah, say that the guardian or heir is not to fast on such a person's
behalf, but is to feed one person a day for the missed days. The chosen opinion, however, among the Shaf'iyyah is that it is
preferred for the guardian to fast on the deceased's behalf, thus fulfilling his duty. There is therefore no need for him to feed
anyone.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 6.32 Narrated by
Ata
That he heard Ibn 'Abbas reciting the Divine Verse:
"And for those who can fast they had a choice either fast, or feed a poor for every day..." (2.184) Ibn 'Abbas said, "This Verse
is not abrogated, but it is meant for old men and old women who have no strength to fast, so they should feed one poor
person for each day of fasting (instead of fasting)."

Abu Huraira
Narrated by
A person had sexual relation with his wife in the month of Ramadan (while he was fasting), and he came to Allah's Apostle
seeking his verdict concerning that action. The Prophet said (to him), "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" The man said,
"No." The Prophet said, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He said, "No." The Prophet said, "Then feed sixty poor
persons."
