Expiation Fasting for Oaths Without Continuity
A woman wants to fast for three days as an expiation for her oath, but her health does not allow her to fast them consecutively. Is she allowed not to fast consecutively, such as fasting one day and breaking her fast the next?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: You are required to atone for your oath. If you possess the equivalent of feeding ten needy people, which is approximately 20 Jordanian dinars, and if you do not have this amount, you are required to fast three consecutive days, and nothing else suffices. And God knows best.
