The Method of Feeding People in the Expiation for an Oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This concerns the method of feeding in the expiation for an oath. Is it necessary to cook the food?
Answer:
What is the condition for the expiation of an oath? Cooking is not required. If he prepares food, gathers the ten people, and feeds them, that is sufficient. If he gives them raw food, that is also sufficient: half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of dates, rice, or other staple food of the country, or clothing. If he invites them to dinner or lunch, there is nothing wrong with that.
