Question:
The manner of feeding sixty poor people?
Answer:
Each poor person receives one and a half kilograms, which is half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg). This applies in Ramadan and likewise in the case of zihar (likening one's wife to a forbidden relative) for sixty poor people if one is unable to fast.
Q: Does he feed the sixty poor people over the course of the year?
The Shaykh: No, immediately. He seeks them out and gives to them immediately.
Q: In one instance?
The Shaykh: Yes.
Q: Regarding feeding the poor person for the expiation of an oath or otherwise?
The Shaykh: Ten poor people.
Q: ... Is the first poor person different from the second?
The Shaykh: For the poor person who is known to lack his sufficiency.
Q: I mean, must they be ten distinct individuals, the first different from the second?
The Shaykh: Yes, it is not returned to one person. It must be ten, and it must be sixty in the case of sixty. It is not repeated to one person.
