Home Hadith Hadith 34807
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to do kaffara for a broken oath by feeding ten poor people. Each
person got a mudd of wheat. He sometimes freed a slave if he had
repeated the oath.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "If someone breaks an oath which he has stressed, he has to free
a slave, or clothe ten poor people. If someone breaks an oath, but has
not stressed it, he only has to feed ten poor people and each poor
person is fed a mudd of wheat. Some one who does not have the means
for that, should fast for three days."

ibn Said that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "I understood from people that
when they made the kaffara for a broken oath, they gave a mudd of
wheat according to the smaller mudd. They thought that that would
compensate for them."
