The Ruling on Delaying the Expiation for Breaking the Fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it an oath or the expiation for breaking the fast? The expiation for breaking the fast, according to the question the brothers asked, Abdullah. But I mean, this is my own independent reasoning, because right now we have money for breaking the fast, and we are obligated to pay for it. We have a year’s worth of breaking the fast, and, praise be to Allah, it is affordable. So after Ramadan, this which was affordable in Ramadan is not affordable now. So I am paying now what was affordable in Ramadan, and I am delaying the rest until after Ramadan, in the days that will come, meaning winter and after that. Is there a barrier?
The Shaykh : What is the same answer?
The questioner : Delaying for a good reason.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, but expediting for a good reason.
The questioner : This is my Shaykh, meaning it is within the expediting, meaning this method.
The Shaykh : No, in the other section, there is delaying.
The questioner : It comes for a benefit.
The Shaykh : I know, I am not looking for the reason now.
