A man who owes the expiation for killing (fasting): Is it permissible for him to combine the two intentions, the intention for the expiation and the intention for fasting on Monday?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : In the third question, my professor says: A man owes fasting as an expiation for killing, meaning the expiation for killing.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Does he receive reward for this fasting, or not? First, then, meaning his intention is for reward, not the reward of obligation, but rather extra reward, meaning by way of obedience or something of that sort. Then, is it permissible for him to combine the intention for the expiation of this fasting with Monday, for example, to say, "This is Monday," and intend for the reward mentioned in the texts?
The Shaykh : Regarding the first part of the question, of course, he has reward.
Al-Halabi : He has reward.
The Shaykh : Every act of worship that a Muslim performs, even an expiation, has reward for it. As for the second part, it falls under matters that we have repeated many times. For example, a man enters the mosque intending to pray the sunnah of wudu' and the greeting of the mosque; it is permissible for him to combine the two intentions, but it is better to assign each intention its own act. This is the same here.
Al-Halabi : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh : Yes.
