The questioner:
This questioner says: We have seven expiations to fulfill, and there are ten cleaning workers at our workplace, all of whom are in need, except that one of them is not a Muslim. So I stood up and fed them for seven days, then I added an eighth day because of the presence of the non-Muslim worker among them. Is my action correct?
The Shaykh:
We repeat the question.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says: We have seven.
The Shaykh:
Does he mean a group, or is it one person? Is it one person or a group?
The questioner:
It is not between.
The Shaykh:
He says: We have, meaning a group. Yes.
The questioner:
It is not a matter of.
The Shaykh:
Or "we have," he is emphasizing himself, saying: the pronoun of the group. Yes.
