Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the amount of the kaffarah (expiation) in kilograms?
The Shaykh:
Which kaffarah? Yes.
The questioner:
He did not mention anything.
The Shaykh:
The kaffarah in kilograms. The kaffarahs differ; some require feeding sixty poor people, some ten, and some six. The amount given to a poor person in these kaffarahs, according to the view of a group of scholars, is a mudd, which is a quarter of a sa'. The ruling currently in effect is half a sa', meaning one and a half kilograms. Yes.
