Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: If a man has intercourse with his wife in Ramadan, his expiation is freeing a slave and fasting for two months. So what is the value of the slave in riyals in our present time?
Answer:
There is no slavery now; slavery is prohibited now, and there is no slave. One resorts to fasting or feeding sixty poor people. As for a slave in the present time, it does not exist, and one does not pay out money in its place. No, one must free a slave if one is found. As for paying out money, that is not sufficient. Yes.
