Question:
I have many and varied expiations for oaths that I owe. Am I required to pay one hundred riyals for each expiation?

Answer:
First, the expiation is not in currency, but rather in food. You pay with food, or you pay with clothing. You do not pay with currency. This is because Allah commanded feeding, or clothing, or freeing a slave. So do not pay with currency. Second, if these oaths were all about one single matter, one expiation is sufficient for all of them. However, if they were about multiple matters, each oath has its own expiation. Yes.
