The Expiation for an Oath for a Woman Whose Father Provides for Her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a woman owes the expiation for an oath, and the one who provides for her is her father, should she fast for three days, or should she ask her father to pay the expiation? It is known that she has some jewelry.
Answer:
The jewelry she needs is not required to be used for the expiation, because this is part of her needs and necessities, like clothing and the things she requires; she is not obligated to use it, nor is her father obligated to. However, if he volunteers to pay the expiation on her behalf, there is no harm in that. But that it is obligatory for him to do so, no. So she must fast for three days. If she has nothing, she fasts for three days, unless her father volunteers to pay the expiation on her behalf, in which case that suffices. Yes.
