The Amount of Feeding in Expiations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is every expiation involving feeding measured at half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), or does it increase in some cases?
Answer:
The scholars differ on the amount. Some say that if the food is from barley, a quarter of a sa' (a mudd, a quarter of a sa') is sufficient. But if the food is from other items, half a sa' is required, whether it is dates, barley, corn, or raisins. Half a sa' means two mudds. Yes.
And some others say half a sa' of the whole, half a sa' of the whole, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made half a sa' obligatory in the expiation or in the ransom for shaving the head in Hajj,[Al-Baqarah 2:196] half, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ka'b ibn Ujr, he said to him Sahih al-Bukhari 1816, and he specified half a sa'.
