The ruling on distributing the feeding of the poor in the expiation for an oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the expiation for an oath, is it possible for me to feed the poor on separate days? For example, I feed two poor people, then I feed two poor people on one day and three on another day, and so on?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, because there is no text specifying that it must be done consecutively. There is no text stating that feeding the poor must be done in succession. If you feed one poor person every day, there is no objection to doing so on separate days, or if you feed some of them and then complete the rest after a few days, there is no objection.
