The questioner : The questioner says: If an expiation becomes obligatory upon my mother, is it permissible for me to perform it on her behalf?
The Shaykh : Yes. If an expiation becomes obligatory upon someone and another person performs it on his behalf with his permission, there is nothing wrong with it, because he becomes like his agent. The agency in paying expiations and in giving voluntary charity is valid and sound. It does not matter whether the expiation is paid from his mother's money or from his own money. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
