What is the ruling on expiation for an oath for a girl who cannot directly feed the needy and cannot find anyone to delegate, and is it permissible to pay it to charities despite not trusting them?

1. Fasting does not suffice for an expiation of an oath (kaffarat al-yamin) except after being unable to feed ten poor persons or clothe them.

2. The majority of scholars hold that it is not permissible to pay the expiation of an oath to fewer than ten poor persons.

3. It is permissible to give a single poor person from multiple expiations.

4. If a family of seven individuals is given five expiations, then the five expiations must be completed by feeding three additional poor persons for each expiation, so that the total becomes ten poor persons, each receiving a mudd from the five expiations.

5. You must pay what you owe in expiations, and even if you do not know their exact number, continue paying until you are certain or strongly presume that your obligation has been fulfilled.

6. It is permissible to entrust a reliable charity to pay the expiation to those deserving, even if they are not in your country, provided you inform the charity that the payment is an expiation.

7. It is not permissible to give zakat to workers in commercial shops if they have a salary that suffices their essential needs, but it is permissible to give them expiation if they are poor.
