Expiation for swearing to prohibit what is lawful
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A dispute occurred between me and my uncle, and I said, "Your meat is forbidden to me," then I regretted it. What is the ruling in this matter, and is there an expiation?
Answer:
Yes, you owe an expiation for an oath if you eat from their meat. It is feeding ten poor people, or clothing ten poor people. You give each person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of dates, rice, or other staple food of the country. The amount is approximately one and a half kilograms, given to each poor person. The total is fifteen kilograms, with one and a half kilograms for each person. This is half a sa' of the staple food of the country, such as rice, dates, wheat, barley, corn, or the like, according to the staple food of the country.
Or clothing them, if you clothe each person with an izar (lower garment) and a rida' (upper garment), or a shirt; there is no harm in that, and it suffices in place of food. Or freeing a believing slave. If you cannot do all of this—neither feeding, nor clothing, nor freeing—then you must fast for three days. This is for the poor person who is unable to do so. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
