Ayah: 4

فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّاۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ فَإِطۡعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسۡكِينٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۚ وَتِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِۗ وَلِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

4. If one cannot find (a slave to set free), he must fast for two months successively before they touch each other⁶. If one is not able (to fast), he must feed sixty destitute people. This is to affirm your faith in Allāh and His messenger. These are the limits set by Allāh. And for the deniers there is a painful torment.

6. i.e., have carnal relation.
