Is it permissible to feed a non-Muslim as an expiation for delaying the making up of fasts?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Your sister must make up for the fast along with the expiation for delaying it. If she cannot find poor Muslims in her country, she should send the expiation to any country where there are poor Muslims. It is permissible for her to appoint a charitable organization or a relative to handle the matter. If she is unable to pay the full expiation, she should pay what she can afford and complete the remainder when it becomes available.
