Puasa in ramadhan related verses that I can find:-
2:183. Wahai orang-orang yang percaya, dituliskan bagi kamu berpuasa sebagaimana dituliskan bagi orang-orang yang sebelum kamu, supaya kamu bertakwa.
2:184. Pada hari-hari yang terhitung; dan jika sesiapa antara kamu sakit, atau jika dia dalam perjalanan, maka sebilangan daripada hari-hari yang lain; dan bagi orang-orang yang tidak boleh, ditebus dengan memberi makan seorang miskin, tetapi lebih baik baginya, yang membuat kebaikan dengan sukarela, bahawa kamu berpuasa adalah lebih baik bagi kamu, jika kamu mengetahui.
2:185. Bulan Ramadan yang padanya Al-Qur’an diturunkan untuk menjadi satu petunjuk bagi manusia, dan sebagai bukti-bukti yang jelas daripada Petunjuk itu, dan Pembeza. Maka hendaklah orang-orang antara kamu yang menyaksikan (hadir) pada bulan itu, berpuasa; dan sesiapa yang sakit, atau dalam perjalanan, maka sebilangan daripada hari-hari yang lain. Allah menghendaki kemudahan bagi kamu, dan tidak menghendaki kesukaran bagi kamu; dan agar kamu mencukupkan bilangan, dan mengagungkan Allah, bahawa Dia telah memberi petunjuk kepada kamu supaya kamu berterima kasih
(Asad translation)
2:183. O YOU who have attained to faith! Fasting is ordained for you as it was ordained for those before you, so that you might remain conscious of God:
2:184. During a certain number of days. But whoever of you is ill, or on a journey, [shall fast instead for the same] number of other days; and [in such cases] it is incumbent upon those who can afford it to make sacrifice by feeding a needy person. And whoever does more good than he is bound to do does good unto himself thereby; for to fast is to do good unto yourselves – if you but knew it.
2:185. It was the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was [first] bestowed from on high as a guidance unto man and a self-evident proof of that guidance, and as the standard by which to discern the true from the false. Hence, whoever of you lives to see this month shall fast throughout it; but he that is ill, or on a journey, [shall fast instead for the same] number of other days. God wills that you shall have ease, and does not will you to suffer hardship; but [He desires] that you complete the number [of days required], and that you extol God for His having guided you aright, and that you render your thanks [unto Him].
A couple of points to draw from the above simple verses:
1. Only two exception to puasa: sakit (ill) & dalam perjalanan (on a journey).
2. What to do in such a case? When such we are told to ganti with other days, ‘maka sebilangan daripada hari2 yang lain’. But if you can’t, give food to the poor. Of cos, we can define period as sakit. But would any medical practitioner define that as sickness today?
3. Another interesting fact, we are often told we must ganti within a year. No such thing here.
