Is feeding people sufficient in place of fasting for the expiation of accidental killing?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I was involved in a car accident, and I was the driver, so one of the passengers died. I paid the blood money, but a man told me that it is obligatory for me to fast two consecutive months. Is feeding sixty poor people sufficient for me, knowing that I am young, but I am unable to fast?

Answer:
My brother, feeding people is not mentioned in the verse. Feeding people is not mentioned in the verse. Is there anything else in the verse? No, the verse mentions freeing a slave, and whoever cannot find one, then fasting two consecutive months. Feeding people is not in it. Even if some scholars issued a ruling to this effect, that is an error.
