Expiation by Feeding for One Who Is Given It, and How to Feed Ten Poor People

Question : Hello, yes, is this a question over the phone? Yes, very well. The sister asking says: Honorable Shaykh, if a person has an expiation (kaffarah) due on him, and he gave some male or female students sandwiches and juice, does this suffice? And is it sufficient for the expiation?

Answer : It is not sufficient for the expiation. There are two ways for it. The first way is to give each of the ten people one kilogram of rice along with meat to accompany it. The second way is to prepare a meal, either lunch or dinner, and invite ten poor people to eat, so you feed them lunch or dinner.
