Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Umm Ahmad from the southern region, says: She is an elderly woman with a son who was undutiful to her. One day, a problem arose between her and this son, so she cursed him several times. Then she swore by Allah and vowed to Allah that she would not live with him as long as she was alive. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) guided him afterward, and she is now living with him. What is obligatory for her to do? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
She must pay the expiation for the oath, and praise be to Allah. The expiation for an oath is feeding ten poor people. For each poor person, it is half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of the local staple food, such as dates, rice, or wheat. Half a sa' is approximately one and a half kilograms. For ten poor people, that is fifteen kilograms, with each person receiving one and a half kilograms, meaning half a sa'. Alternatively, she may provide clothing, giving each person a shirt, a lower garment, and a cloak. Yes.
