Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In the expiations mentioned in the Shari'ah, there is the freeing of a slave, or fasting for two months, such as the expiation for accidental killing. Is there any freeing of slaves today, or is it directly replaced by fasting?
Answer:
By Allah, I do not know anything about this. So if it is established with someone that there is something of this, I do not know of any institutions where valid freeing of slaves takes place. I do not know this. Yes.
