Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the amount of feeding a poor person? And if I give ten poor people a lunch or breakfast, is that sufficient and acceptable?
Answer:
The amount paid to a poor person in the expiation for an oath and the expiation for zihar is a mudd, which is a quarter of a sa'. This is the position of the majority. It was also said to be half a sa', which is two mudds, because a sa' is four mudds. The current fatwa is that he pays him half a sa'. In kilograms, this is approximately one and a half kilograms. A sa' is approximately three kilograms. If he feeds ten poor people lunch or dinner, that is acceptable. If he feeds ten poor people lunch or dinner, that is acceptable, because it is true that he fed ten poor people if he filled them. Yes.
