HADITH OF THE DAY
FASTING A MUST
Narrated by Nafi
Ibn 'Umar recited the verse: "They had a choice either to fast or to feed a poor person for every day, & said that the order of this Verse was cancelled.
Note: Allah Says in Surah Baqarah verse 184 -
"Fasting for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill or on a journey the prescribed number (should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (with hardship) is a ransom the feeding of one that is indigent (poor). But he that will give more of his own free will it is better for him & it is better for you that ye fast if ye only knew."
