Is it permissible to pay the expiation for breaking the fast in Ramadan in money?

Question:
We will take the first call, Abu 'Atiyyah from al-Khabar. Go ahead, Abu 'Atiyyah. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace. How are you, Uncle Shaykh? May Allah welcome you. Good morning. May Allah welcome you all. I have two questions, may you live long. Go ahead. The first question: I am a person suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, and I give three hundred riyals in Ramadan, and they told me, "No, this is the equivalent of forty-five kilograms." I don't know. May Allah reward you with good. This is the first question. Okay, let the Shaykh answer for a moment.

Answer:
Yes, if you are unable to fast because of the illness you mentioned, and you are unable to fast or make up the fasts in the future, then you must feed one poor person for every day, as He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: The food is not from money, and its amount is one and a half kilograms, one and a half kilograms, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), meaning one and a half kilograms of food. So the total for all the days of Ramadan, thirty days, is forty-five kilograms. Yes.
