fa-man lam yajid fa-ṣiyāmu shahrayni mutatābiʿayni min qabli ʾan yatamāssā fa-man lam yastaṭiʿ fa-ʾiṭʿāmu sittīna miskīnan dhālika li-tuʾminū bi-llāhi wa-rasūlihī wa-tilka ḥudūdu llāhi wa-li-l-kāfirīna ʿadhābun ʾalīmun

He who cannot afford [to free a slave] shall fast for two successive months before they may touch each other. If he cannot [do so], he shall feed sixty needy persons. This, that you may have faith in Allah and His Apostle. These are Allah’s bounds, and there is a painful punishment for the faithless.
