Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If he is unable to pay the expiation, but it is hoped that, for example, on some day he will be able to gather the money or gather so much?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory that it be dropped from him, and if he pays the expiation, there is no harm, and if he is absent. The consideration is based on the state, O Shaykh. Yes, yes. Do you have it in order or as a choice? May Allah do you good. In order, like the midday prayer, like the midday prayer.
