The one who is unable to free a slave or fast in the expiation for killing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling if a person is unable to fast in the case of accidental killing? Is the expiation dropped from him, or is it upon them to feed people?

Answer:
It remains a debt on his person, and his affair is left to Allah. If he is unable to free a slave and unable to fast, it remains a debt on his person, and his affair is left to Allah. If a Muslim volunteers to expiate it on his behalf, that benefits him.
