The Expiation for an Oath When a Vow is Fulfilled
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The sister questioner, who used the letter Alif as a code for her name, says that she swore that if Allah granted her something, she would give two hundred riyals to five women in the neighborhood. After this was fulfilled for her, she said the amount came and she gave these two hundred riyals to the women. What is required of her now?
Answer:
Did you swear or make a vow? You swore. Either you feed the women you swore to, or you pay the expiation for an oath. You have the choice between the two. May Allah reward you and bless you.
