Question:
This questioner says: A person owes more than one expiation; is it permissible to give it to a charitable organization, at a rate of one bag of rice for every three expiations, knowing that the expiation is fifteen kilograms of rice?
Answer:
Yes, the expiation is fifteen kilograms because it is for ten poor people, each poor person receiving one and a half kilograms. As for distributing it, it is obligatory for the one who owes the expiation to distribute it himself, because it is a debt in his liability, a debt in his liability. Or he may pay it to someone he trusts to distribute it in the required manner. As for him paying it to the organization, and the organization having many things for people, and perhaps being lenient with it and mixing it with other things, this does not clear his liability. This is a debt in his liability; he must ensure it reaches the ten poor people who are entitled to it, either by delivering it himself or through someone he trusts to deliver it. Yes.
