Expiation for Fasting Two Consecutive Months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. My brother, may Allah have mercy on him, had an expiation of fasting two consecutive months. Is it obligatory or required for me to feed sixty poor people on his behalf, or must I fast for him? And if the Festival of Sacrifice comes, what should I do?
Answer:
We do not know what the expiation was for, or what acts it involved. If it was for killing, then feeding does not suffice; feeding does not suffice in that case. Fasting is necessary. If it was for having sexual intercourse in Ramadan, then feeding on behalf of the deceased suffices.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
