What is the value of feeding one needy person in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and is it permissible to pay the expiation (kaffarah) in Egypt according to its local value?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The pregnant woman must offer expiation () by feeding one indigent person for each day she missed fasting. The amount of food for each feeding is 750 grams, and it is permissible to pay its value. There is no objection to transferring the expiation or its value from the place where it became due to another country if the need and poverty are more severe there. Its transfer should be based on its value in the country where the expiation became due if that is more beneficial for the indigent.
