Muhaqqaq Masala

If a person breaks his oath, then the expiation (Kaffarah) for the oath becomes obligatory upon him, and it is as follows: feeding ten needy persons (Misakeen) two meals, or providing them with clothes, or freeing a slave. He has the choice among these three; he may pay the expiation with whichever he wishes. And if he does not have the ability to do any one of these three, then he should fast for three consecutive days.

Some people, despite having the ability to feed or provide clothes, pay the expiation for their oath by fasting for three days, and thus think that their expiation has been fulfilled, whereas the correct ruling is that the expiation has not been fulfilled. Because for the payment of expiation through fasting to be valid, being unable to feed and clothe is a condition. (Aham Masail / Vol: 3 / Page: 206)

The Wisdom Behind the Creation of a Fly

The King of Khorasan, after returning from hunting, was sitting on his throne. Due to fatigue, his eyes were becoming heavy. A servant stood before the king respectfully with his hands folded. The king was extremely sleepy, but whenever his eyes closed, a fly would come and sit on his nose. Out of sleepiness and distraction, the king would angrily try to swat the fly, but his hand would hit his own face, and he would wake up with a start. When this happened two or three times, the king asked the servant, "Do you know why Allah has created the fly? What wisdom of Allah is hidden in its creation?" When the servant heard this question from the king, he gave an answer that is worthy of being written in golden letters. The servant replied, "Your Majesty! Allah has created the fly so that kings and emperors keep realizing that they should never consider themselves God, because they cannot even control a single fly by themselves...!!" The king liked the servant's reply so much that he set him free and appointed him as his advisor.
