What amount of food and money is required to feed ten poor people in Saudi Arabia?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Feeding ten poor people as expiation for an oath involves giving each poor person one mudd (a measurement) of the average food of one's family, which is approximately half a kilogram and ten grams, whether it is wheat or rice. To know the monetary value that must be given instead of food, inquire about the value of 5 kilograms and 100 grams of your usual food. It is worth noting that most scholars do not permit giving monetary value instead of food, but the permissibility of giving it instead for the sake of benefit is the more preponderant opinion.
