What is the expiation for a vow of daily lifelong charity made by a seventeen-year-old girl to protect her family, given that she has not learned the affairs of the religion of Islam but reads the Quran and believes in the existence of God?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Whoever vows obedience to Allah must fulfill the vow. If one is unable to fulfill it or finds it difficult, then an expiation for a broken oath (kaffarat yameen) suffices. The expiation for a broken oath is feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or fasting three days for whoever cannot afford that.
