Fatwa: Fasting for oath expiation when unable to feed needy
The Secretary of the Dar Al-Ifta in Egypt, Sheikh Ahmed Wissam, clarified that the expiation for breaking an oath (kafara al-yameen) requires feeding ten needy people. If the person is unable to do so, then they must fast for three consecutive days, regardless of the type of oath—whether it was made out of anger or for other reasons. He explained that oaths taken unintentionally are considered invalid and warrant seeking forgiveness (istighfar). However, intentional oaths are subject to expiation upon breaking them, and the proper order—whether to first feed or to fast—should be observed.
