What is the ruling on adopting the Hanafi school of thought regarding the permissibility of paying the value of feeding (expiation) at a later time and the value of one sa' of rice for each poor person, without knowing its proofs? And is that amount sufficient, or is it obligatory to increase the value to include meat and vegetables, given the unavailability of charities for expiations in Egypt, and the possibility of paying it during 'Umrah with the resulting financial hardship?
It is permissible to follow the Maliki school of thought regarding the expiation (kaffara) by giving half a sa' of wheat or a full sa' of other grains, or its monetary value. The value of meat and vegetables is not required, unless following dispensations becomes your regular approach.
