Is the amount that was sent online to the committee for the expiation of an oath considered paid or not, especially since the committee does not operate on Fridays and the arrival of the amount has not been confirmed?
It is permissible to pay the expiation for an oath (kaffarat al-yameen) through a trustworthy and specialized committee that receives expiations, provided that they purchase food and distribute it to ten needy people. However, if the committee is not trustworthy, it is not permissible to appoint them as an agent. It is not a condition for the money to arrive on the same day, as there is no harm in delaying the expiation after breaking the oath. The amount is calculated based on the price of the food that must be given for the expiation.
