What is the ruling on the expiation for an oath if a person swore by divorce in a moment of anger, and then fed ten poor people from among his relatives?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a person swore an oath not to marry, then wished to expiate his oath and marry, then this action of his is better; because marriage is one of the traditions of the prophets, and it may become obligatory in certain cases. The expiation for an oath requires feeding poor people whose sustenance is not obligatory upon the one offering expiation.
