The Expiation for an Oath and Feeding Ten People with Chicken

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am speaking to His Eminence Shaykh Salih. Please, raise your voice. I have three questions for you, my master. Shaykh, may Allah benefit you with Islam and the Muslims, if Allah wills. Listen to the first one. The first, my master, regarding the oath, what is the expiation for the oath? Okay, the expiation for the oath. Second. I, my master, had an oath and went to you, my master, and paid it, which is feeding ten poor people. When I paid, I took a bag of flour and brought it, and they said I must bring with it five chickens. Is this correct, or do I just pay the flour and that is enough? Okay, and the second. The second, my master, is that the opening of the Book, al-Fatihah, is it dropped when a person is a ma'mum (praying behind the imam), whether it is recited aloud or not, or is it necessary to recite it? Third. You, my master, when a person passes by, like wearing a turban, and recites aloud and passes by the tasbih (remembrance), do I remember it myself and say "Subhan Allah, Rabb al-'Azeem" (Glory be to Allah, my Lord the Magnificent), or do I say "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah)? Nader, listen to the answer now, in a little while, if Allah wills. Your Excellency the Shaykh, may Allah bless you, he asks about the expiation for an oath, where he gave to ten, ten people, but he was also asked to add five chickens or something of that sort. What is the expiation basically?

Answer:
The chicken is a supplement; it is not required. If he pays the food, that is sufficient. And if he pays with it a side dish of chicken or something else, that is a supplement and better. Yes.
