Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This person says that he has oaths upon him, and that he has broken them, so expiations became obligatory upon him. At that time, he was unable to perform the expiation. Then, after that, he was able to, but he forgot the number. What is obligatory for him?
Answer:
He should estimate it. He should exert himself in estimating it, and perform the expiation for what he arrives at. Yes.
