Freeing a slave and feeding sixty poor people in the expiation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is 'ishq gambling, Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
It is found in some parts of Africa, sold in seconds, yes.

The questioner:
Through relief efforts, okay, yes, through the relief association.

The Shaykh:
Through our books in Mauritania.

The questioner:
The relief amount.

The Shaykh:
No, through us.

The questioner:
Did he buy from sixty poor people, Shaykh? Yes. Did he buy from sixty poor people, meaning if he finds, for example, ten poor people and gives to them.

The Shaykh:
It must be sixty, as the Qur'an states. Yes.

The questioner:
Is this path through you, Shaykh, as they say?

The Shaykh:
Yes, but it may be delayed by two or three months because he seeks the path of trustworthy scholars, yes.

The questioner:
And if the amount is.

The Shaykh:
Between ten and nine to eleven, approximately.

The questioner:
The gathering is welcome in Ramadan, Shaykh. He took it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said, "No one is poorer than me, I and my family." He took the loss, he and his family, and it was not with them.

The Shaykh:
If he is unable, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave it to him, if he is unable. Some of the Imams mentioned that it is dropped from him if he is unable. If he is unable to fast, free a slave, and feed, and becomes poor and cannot fast or free a slave, it is dropped from him according to the correct opinion, with repentance to Allah and regret. Yes.
