Is it permissible to pay three different expiations for one person in a single household that includes ten indigent people?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to give the expiation for an oath (kaffarat al-) to a single needy person; rather, it must be given to ten needy persons. If one owes several expiations and wishes to give them to the same ten needy persons, this is only valid for one expiation per day. He must feed them for a different expiation each day.
