Paying the expiation for an oath to a needy sister
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have two questions, may you live long. Please, regarding the expiation for my oath: I have a sister who is in need; she has a family and is in need. Should I pay it to them? And the second question, may you live long: We are a group that receives work, and we get five hundred riyals as a monthly allowance per person. One of us was with us, then he left, and after he left, we returned his money to him, and he swore he would not take it. So we don’t know what to do with it. Should we spend it on good deeds? Should we give it as charity? What should we do with it? May Allah reward you with good.
The presenter:
He says: Shaykh, he owes an expiation, and he has a sister who is in need. Can he give it to her?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if she is in need, she is the most deserving. Yes.
