Hadith.1947 - Al-'Ala narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said
"I heard Abu Ja'far (as) say:
'An elderly person and one suffering from chronic thirst are not at fault if they break their fast during the Month of Ramadan. Each of them should give a mudd (a specific measure) of food as charity for each day, and there is no obligation to make up the fast. If they cannot afford this, then there is nothing upon them.'"
1947 - رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «اَلشَّيْخُ اَلْكَبِيرُ وَ اَلَّذِي بِهِ اَلْعُطَاشُ لاَ حَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمَا أَنْ يُفْطِرَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ يَتَصَدَّقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِمُدٍّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَ لاَ قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِمَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرَا فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِمَا ».
