The Amount of the Expiation for an Oath and to Whom It Is Paid

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He asks: What is the amount of the expiation that is paid, and to whom is it given?

The Shaykh:
Which expiation?

The questioner:
Generally, the expiation is the expiation for an oath.

The Shaykh:
It varies.

The questioner:
Yes, if you expiate the oath of the Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
The oath of food is for ten poor people, each poor person receiving half a sa' of food. That is one and a half kilograms of food for each poor person. So, fifteen kilograms for ten poor people. This is the expiation for the oath.
Yes. The expiation for zihar. So, if he is unable to free a slave or fast for two months, he feeds sixty poor people, each poor person receiving what we mentioned, half a sa', meaning one mudd and a half of wheat, that is one and a half kilograms of wheat for sixty poor people, each poor person receiving one and a half kilograms of wheat. This is the expiation for zihar, and likewise the expiation for intercourse during the day in Ramadan. Yes.
