Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the expiations for an oath is feeding ten poor people. Is feeding them done in one meal, or for a full day, or do we give them food like corn or wheat? And what is the amount?
Answer:
The obligatory amount is one meal, lunch or dinner, or you give them half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), meaning: one and a half kilograms each of the food of the country, the staple food of the country. If the staple food of the country is corn, you give them corn; if it is rice, you give them rice; if it is wheat, you give them wheat, from the staple food of the country, and praise be to Allah, or half a sa' of dates. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
