Paying a sum to free a slave outside the country as expiation

Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Currently, there are people who take ten thousand riyals and free a slave outside the Kingdom, and they are trustworthy. What is your opinion on this matter? And is this sufficient for the expiation?

Answer:
If you say they are employees, if they are truly employees, there is no harm. But if things are coming from them these days, and there are many fraudsters, slavery is generally not present. But if they are employees you trust one hundred percent, if you trust them, this is on your conscience, you will not enter into lying on your conscience. If you trust them, there is no objection. But if they are not lying and you have not seen this from them, you do not know about your conscience, because there is a lot of sleepiness, and a lot of lying, and there is no truth that remains about them.
