Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your sister in Allah, H.A., says: O Shaykh, I would like to know, as it is well known, that the expiation for an oath is feeding ten poor people. But O Shaykh, what is the amount? Is it fifty riyals or what? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
Feeding is not done with money; feeding is done by providing food. The amount is one and a half kilograms for each poor person, making a total of fifteen kilograms of the food commonly eaten in the country, to be given to ten poor people.
