Question:
The questioner says: A person owes the expiation for delaying the making up of Ramadan fasting until after the next Ramadan. Is it permissible for him to buy a sack of rice and give it to a needy family, thereby feeding thirty poor people, given that the family consists of ten people?

Answer:
Let me repeat the question? He says: May Allah reward you. A person owes the expiation for delaying the making up of Ramadan fasting. That is, he did not fast Ramadan in each year until the second Ramadan came, and he fasted it, but delayed making up the first Ramadan until after the second Ramadan without an excuse. If it was for an excuse, then he only owes the making up of the fast. But if it was without an excuse, then yes, he must feed a poor person for each day, for each day. If he combines them all and gives them to a poor family, there is nothing wrong with that. Or if he combines them all and gives them to one poor person, there is nothing wrong with that, because Allah did not stipulate a number in this matter.
