An oath expiation became obligatory upon me in my country; is it permissible for me to fulfill the expiation for my oath in another country?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: An oath expiation became obligatory upon me in my country. So, may I feed ten poor people here in Makkah? What is the amount of food for each person? And does the monetary value suffice in its place?

Answer:
Yes, feed the poor people, whether in Makkah, in your country, or in any place. Feed ten poor people in any place among the Muslims, and each person gets one and a half kilograms of food. One and a half kilograms of food means fifteen kilograms for ten poor people. Yes.
