What is the ruling on rice given as expiation for an oath despite its broken grains?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The food for expiation is restricted to being of a medium quality, meaning it should be from the average of what a person feeds their family, not from the best and not from the worst. If the rice in question fits this description, then it is sufficient. Moderation encompasses the middle ground in terms of the food's quality, its quantity, and the number of times it is eaten. The assessment of moderation should consider the staple food of the one performing the expiation themselves, not the staple food of most people.
