Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I gave food to a poor family of ten members, is that sufficient as the expiation for an oath, or is it necessary to verify that each person ate specifically?
Answer:
It is not sufficient if they are ten poor people and you gave them fifteen kilograms. No, if you gave them a total of fifteen kilograms, with each person receiving one and a half kilograms, that is fine.
