Is it Islamically permissible to feed twenty poor people (twenty iftar meals for fasting persons) in the mosque as an expiation for an oath?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"In the expiation for an oath (kaffarat al-), it is necessary to feed half a Saa' of food to each poor person, which is approximately one and a half kilograms. It is also permissible to feed the poor person two meals: lunch and dinner. Therefore, you must provide the aforementioned poor individuals with 20 additional meals, serving as lunch and dinner, to complete the required feeding."
