I have a kaffarah (expiation) for an oath and some money with me, but I need it, so may I expiate by fasting?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have two kaffarahs for oaths, and I have some money with me, but I need it and cannot pay the expiation with it. So, is fasting required of me, or is it obligatory for me to work?
Answer:
You may fast. If you have nothing beyond your needs, you feed [the poor] and fast. So, whoever does not find [the means] fasts for three days, and you do not have anything beyond your needs.
