Question :

What is the monetary value for the expiation of an oath (Kaffarat al-Yamin)?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

The expiation for an oath (Kaffarat al-Yamin) consists of feeding ten (10) needy persons. This is estimated at 600 grams of rice per person. It is also permissible to pay its value in cash, which is estimated at one dinar (per person). And Allah the Exalted knows best.
