The Expiation for an Oath in the Matter of Daughters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have, O long-lived one, I have children, boys and girls, eleven in total.
The presenter:
Yes.
The questioner:
Their mother has passed away, and whenever a woman comes wanting to be placed with us, she comes to us, and no one serves her or anyone else. And I have convinced them. And this is the first time. He answers in his dialect. So I want to know more about this matter, O Shaykh, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
You do not owe an expiation, my brother. You must be generous with your daughters, make room for them in your house, welcome them, and treat them well, and you will be rewarded, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
If you had sworn an oath, if you had sworn an oath, if you had sworn an oath that they would not come, then you must expiate for your oath and not prevent them, my brother. Expiate for your oath and do not prevent them. Yes.
