Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: If I owe the expiation of an oath and I can only find five poor people, should I feed them on two different days?

Answer:
No. If you do not feed them, the five remain your responsibility. Wait for another five, or else it remains a debt on you until you find them.
