Reader: And it is an expiation for [the sins of] a year.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan responded: Yes.
It expiates [the sins of] the year that has passed. Meaning, what it consisted of in terms of [one’s] sins. What it consisted of in terms of [one’s] minor sins. The expiation is for the minor sins.
As for the major sins, then they are not expiated except by repentance.
As for the minor sins, then Allaah expiates them by way of many things; yes.
Among them are [by] fasting the day of ‘Aashooraa; yes.
