Repeating Kaffarahs

Q 2: Sometimes I breach my oaths, but I do not expiate for them. Later, I might buy a packet of rice and consider it a Kaffarah (expiation) for many oaths at the same time. Is this permissible?


A: You should know the number of oaths you want to expiate for first, and then pay Kaffarah for each oath in the form of feeding ten needy people, on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your own families, or give each of them half a Sa` (1 Sa`=3 kg. Approx.) of wheat, rice or any other kind of food eaten by the people of your country. (Part No. 23; Page No. 20) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
