Q 1:
how can I make Kaffarah (expiation) for an unfulfilled oath by feeding ten needy Muslims? Must I feed on a daily basis? If I do not find needy Muslims, how can I make Kaffarah?
A:
Anyone who is obligated to make Kaffarah for an unfulfilled oath has the option to feed ten needy persons, giving each of them one kilo and a half of the usual staple food such as rice, wheat, etc., or to clothe them, or to free a believing slave. If they cannot afford any of these, they are to fast for three days. It does not matter if the person feeds or clothes the needy persons on one or separate days. In addition, Kaffarah is to be offered to those known as Muslims, as Allah alone knows intentions.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
