The condition of informing the poor person about the expiation of feeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What do the young men say? The young men say that when he intends to do this, and his father is taking care of him, meaning he gives him food and feeds him, the young men ask: Do they have to tell the young men, "We want to bring you food for such and such an expiation"? We said: Do you want to insult the poor person?
The Shaykh: Music.
The questioner : The one who is wronged, the one who is entitled to the feeding, you say to him, "Please, it is from us," is that not so?
The Shaykh : How? I did not understand this last sentence.
The questioner : He means, when one feeds people, for example, as an expiation for an oath or as an expiation for breaking a fast, are there conditions that require one to tell the person he is feeding, "By Allah, this meal is an expiation for an oath or for breaking a fast in Ramadan"? No, there is no necessity for that.
The Shaykh: Never.
The questioner : So that he remains, meaning, a gate. This is a matter to be referred back to.
The Shaykh : And he said, "It is his."
