Ruling on Giving the Expiation for an Oath as Clothing for Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the clothing for the expiation of an oath, are there specific ages required, or not?
Answer: There are no specific ages. The intention is to give ten, and that is sufficient. So if a person gives to a poor man who has nine children, and he is the tenth, that suffices, and praise be to Allah, provided they are poor. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good. So it is not required that there be a specific age, whether they are children or not?
The Shaykh: Yes, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good, even though there is a difference in value, O Shaykh, as you know?
The Shaykh: Even if... even if it benefits everyone, it benefits the group if... and his poor children, it benefits them.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
