ا سَأَلْنَا الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَذَرَ نَذْراً إِنْ هُوَ تَخَلَّصَ مِنَ الْحَبْسِ أَنْ يَصُومَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي تَخَلَّصَ فِيهِ فَيَعْجِزُ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ لِعِلَّةٍ أَصَابَتْهُ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَمُدَّ لِلرَّجُلِ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ صَوْمٌ كَثِيرٌ مَا كَفَّارَةُ ذَلِكَ الصَّوْمِ قَالَ يُكَفِّرُ عَنْ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِمُدِّ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sahl, from Idrees Bin zayd and Ali Bin Idrees who both said, ‘We asked (Imam) Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> about a man who vowed a vow that if he is freed from the prison, he would be Fasting that day in which he was set free. Then he became frustrated from the Fasting due to an illness which hit him, or other than that. So it prolonged for the man during his lifetime, and a lot of Fasts had gathered upon him. What is the expiation of that Fast?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He can expiate it from each day (by giving charity) with a Mudd (approximately 750g. of food) of wheat, or barley’.
