The ruling on paying the value of the expiation in cash
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for him to pay it in cash, for example, in place of the clothing or the feeding?
Answer:
He pays it as Allah the Exalted has commanded him. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded him with these three things: feeding ten poor people, clothing ten poor people, or freeing a slave. So he does what Allah has commanded him to do. As for paying in cash, that does not suffice, because it is contrary to what Allah the Exalted has commanded. Yes.
