Özet:

Fasting is mentioned in the Qur’an in ten verses related to several issues. Besides the aspect of worship, fasting is mentioned as an option that substitutes for financial punishments in the expiations of prevention (ihsar), tamattu, penances of killing, oath, and zihar. The worship dimension of fasting is mentioned in four verses, 183rd, 184th, 185th and 187th verses of Surah al-Baqarah. These verses involve fasting’s being a religious duty, not being unique to a specific nation, consciousness of taqwa that disciplines the life, being in a specific period, excuses for not fasting, fidyah, and imsak time. In this paper, the fiqh dimension of the 184th verse of Surah al-Baqarah is evaluated from various aspects based on the tradition of exegesis in general. Particularly, excuses for not fasting as well as the scope and obligations of not fasting are analyzed within the context of this verse and the latter one. The debates of strength and the scope are evaluated in the context of “يطيقون” in the second chapter of the paper. Also, the dimension of rulings (ahkam) is analyzed taking the order of verses and words into consideration. In the light of all the information, we have tried to interpret the 184th verse of Surah al-Baqarah with a new perspective and make analyses from the point of fiqh.
