Inability to Pay the Expiation for Killing and the Manner of Feeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The expiation for killing is established by the evidence of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:16]. What is the situation? I mean, the one who is unable to perform this expiation for killing?
The Shaykh:
It is dropped from them. You want to be patient in it. You stand in this world, so fear Allah as much as you are able. That is, as long as he is able. If he is not able, it remains pending, like the debt that is upon you. The debt that is upon you has its creditors, or others, and it remains with you until you are able. And if he is in hardship, then look to his ease.
The questioner:
The one you mentioned, who narrated it, did I hit the mark with the correct one? Yes.
The Shaykh:
In some of the narrations from what was mentioned, which Muslim and al-Bukhari extracted, it is in the two Sahihs. Yes. But, by Allah, is half a sa' cooked? Is half a sa' cooked or grain? It is grain. And if it comes out as flour, there is no harm. Grain. If it is rice, dates, or the staple food of the country, barley that is the staple of their land, or corn.
The expiation for killing is established by the evidence of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So fear Allah as much as you are able
