How much money is required to feed ten poor people as expiation for an oath?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We have previously discussed the expiation for an oath (kaffarat al-yameen) and the permissibility of giving the monetary value of food or clothing instead of them in fatwas numbered 38438 and 38871.

Based on the opinion that it is permissible, the expiation for an oath is estimated at the value of the average food you consume. This value varies from one country to another and from one person to another.
