The Amount of the Expiation for an Oath and Its Types

Question:
Umm 'Umar says: What is the amount of the expiation for an oath?

Answer:
And whether it is food or water, and what is its amount? Allah the Exalted said: ten poor people. For each poor person, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), which is one and a half kilograms of food. This is the ruling currently applied, meaning fifteen kilograms for ten poor people, with each person receiving one and a half kilograms. Or freeing a slave. Ten poor people from the middle of what you feed or clothe. There are three things from which one chooses: either he feeds ten poor people, or he clothes ten poor people, giving each poor person a garment, or he frees a slave. Whichever of these he does, it suffices him, praise be to Allah. And freeing a slave is better. If he does not find any of these three, then he fasts for three days. There is a choice here, and there is a sequence.
