Is It Required To Feed A Group Of The Poor For Missed Fasts – Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Al-Fawzān

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on June 28, 2017. Posted in Articles, Fasting, Fatawa-Rulings.

Question: I heard on the program ‘Nūr ‘alā ad-Darb’ in reply to a question that it is obligatory that the feeding (expiation for not fasting) is NOT to restricted to one poor person, but rather for every day missed, a different poor person is to be fed.

Answer: Concerning this matter I am not aware of it being obligatory to feed a multiple of poor persons when making the expiation for missed fasts. Allāh, the Majestic, the Most-High, says:

“As for those who can fast with difficulty, they have (a choice either to fast or)
to feed a Miskīn (needy person) (for every day).”
[Al-Baqarah:184]

And so long as the person concerned carries out the expiation of feeding and was to do so with one poor person, I hope and see that as being sufficient, if Allāh wills.

The Means And Their Outcomes – ibn Taymiyyah

Written by abumuaawiyah on October 22, 2011. Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’The performance of good deeds has praiseworthy outcomes internally and externally, and likewise sins have (evil outcomes internally and externally). Allaah (The Most High) created the means to this and the means to that, just as He (The Most High) made poison a means to falling ill and death. The means towards (performing) evil have their means to preventing their occurrence. Repentance and righteous actions wipes away evil deeds and calamities in the worldly life are an expiation for evil deeds.’’
