If you pay the expiation for an oath by feeding ten poor people and there is more than their need, is it permissible for others to eat with them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the father, may Allah preserve you, the questioner asks about the expiation for an oath: if you pay the amount for feeding ten poor people and there is more than their need, is it possible for others to eat with them?

Answer:
Others may eat with them if there is no excess beyond their need. They host whoever comes to them; they invite whoever they wish, and there is no harm in that. Because once they possess the food, they are permitted to dispose of it as they see fit. Yes.
