"And in another passage He says: `We have enjoined upon you fasting during a brief period, and at its close have designated for you Naw- Ruz as a Feast... The traveller, the ailing, those who are with child or giving suck, are not bound by the Fast... Abstain from food and drink, from sunrise to sundown, and beware lest desire deprive you of this grace that is appointed in the Book.'
(28:2)
