The questioner:
What is better regarding the fasting for the expiation of an oath: should I fast them separately or consecutively?
The Shaykh:
Consecutive fasting is preferable; because the majority of scholars hold that consecutiveness is necessary for the fasting. Consecutive fasting is preferable and more cautious; because the majority of scholars, including the Companions and others, hold that it must be consecutive. Yes.
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: I love.
The Shaykh:
He fasts for three days, unless he is unable to perform the expiation by feeding, clothing, or freeing a slave. If he is unable to provide clothing, food, or free a slave, then fasting is permissible for him; otherwise, fasting does not suffice. If he is able to feed ten poor people or clothe them, he is required to do so and does not fast.
