Hadith.1949 - In the narration of Ibn Bukayr, it is reported that Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about the verse of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "And upon those who can fast with difficulty, there is a ransom: the feeding of a poor person" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:184). Imam (as) said
"[This applies] to those who were able to fast but then became elderly, suffered from chronic thirst, or similar conditions. They must give a mudd (a specific measure) of food for each day."
1949 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ : أَنَّهُ
سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «۝ وَ عَلَى اَلَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعٰامُ مِسْكِينٍ ۝» قَالَ «عَلَى اَلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُطِيقُونَ اَلصَّوْمَ ثُمَّ أَصَابَهُمْ كِبَرٌ أَوْ عُطَاشٌ أَوْ شِبْهُ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَيْهِمْ لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مُدٌّ».
