Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The method of feeding the poor for the expiation is to give each person one and a half kilograms of food. Whether you gather it all and give it to the poor at once, or distribute it over the days.
Answer:
There is no restriction; it is according to your capacity and ability. If you can gather it and give it to the poor or to a needy family, that is easier for them. If you cannot do so, but can only give it bit by bit, then you do what you can. The important thing is that you complete the expiation by reaching the number of poor people. That is the important point, whether in one payment or in installments.
