Is it permissible to give the expiation to one person twice at different times?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), the questioner says that they have a close neighbor whose salary is not sufficient for him, so she gave him an expiation a few days ago. Is it permissible for her to give him the second expiation? And is he among those who are eligible to receive it?
The Shaykh : What did she do? What did she do?
The questioner : No, she says they have a close neighbor whose salary is not sufficient for him. She says it seems he has children, so she had an expiation due on her from some time ago, and she gave it to him. Now she has another expiation due on her. She asks: Is it permissible for me to give him the second expiation?
The Shaykh : Yes, if he is poor, there is nothing wrong with it, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:89] But if his family is less than ten, she must seek out the remaining ten. It is necessary to have ten poor people.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : If we assume he does not have more than four, and he is the fifth, she gives them food for five, then she seeks out five others.
The presenter : May Allah keep you safe.

So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people

The Shaykh : If we assume he does not have more than four, and he is the fifth, she gives them food for five, then she seeks out five others.
The presenter : May Allah keep you safe.
