How to Feed Sixty Poor People in the Expiation

Question:
The questioner: (H. M. S) from North Sinai, says: How is the feeding of sixty poor people to be done? Is it for thirty days, twice for each day? Or is it feeding for sixty days, once each day? I ask you to provide information.

Answer:
The requirement is that he gives to sixty poor people, even if it is in one day. He distributes to them thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of food, each person receiving half a sa' of dates, or rice, or wheat, meaning: each person approximately one and a half kilograms. Even if it is in one day, that is sufficient, but it must be sixty poor people. He distributes the food to them, or he feeds them all dinner, or lunch, or separately. Each day he feeds ten dinner, or ten lunch, or twenty, there is no harm. It must be sixty. He feeds them something raw in their hands, or he invites them, making for them a feast of lunch, or dinner, whether they are gathered together or separated. Yes.
