Question:
What is the amount of the expiation in feeding, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is correct that the amount is half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each poor person, as in the expiation for a person in ihram shaving his head, as mentioned earlier. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified that it is half a sa' for six poor people, with each poor person receiving half a sa'. The expiation for an oath is also measured by this, so the correct view is that the amount of the expiation for each poor person is half a sa'. Yes. The majority of jurists say that a quarter of a sa' is sufficient, yes, which is the mudd (a quarter of a sa').
