How can approximately 30 oaths of expiation be discharged in Libya, taking into consideration that most families own a house, a car, and receive a salary? Is it permissible to give them to expatriate workers? What are the qualifications of the rightful recipient? Should it be in kind or in cash, and what is its amount? Is it sufficient for a family whose small salary is not enough for them? Is giving dates acceptable, and what is its quantity? And what is the ruling on giving out Zakat al-Fitr to needy neighbors after the sermon due to forgetfulness?
Whoever owes expiations (kaffarat) should give them to the poor and needy, who are those whose provisions or salaries are insufficient for their needs. It is permissible to give them to one family or more, provided that the number of needy persons for each expiation is completed. Poor expatriates may also be given the expiation. The expiation should be in kind, by feeding ten needy persons or clothing them. If it is not possible to give it in kind, then its value should be given in cash, and the determination of the expiation's value should be referred to the scholars of the country. As for a husband forgetting al-Fitr and remembering it during the sermon, there is no blame on him, and it is preferable for him to first listen to the sermon and then give it out.
