Feeding in place of fasting in expiations

He also asks in the chapter of expiations—may Your Eminence the Shaykh answer—saying: Is feeding, for example, sufficient in place of fasting?
Answer: Expiations differ. In the case of an oath, feeding is sufficient, and fasting is not permissible except in the case of inability. One is not allowed to fast except when he is unable to perform the expiation by feeding, clothing, or freeing a slave. If he is unable to do any of the three, he fasts. As for the issue of killing, the priority is freeing a slave over fasting. Likewise, in the case of zihar, if a man says to his wife, “You are to me as the back of my mother,” then his expiation is, first, freeing a believing slave. If he is unable, he fasts for two consecutive months. If he is unable, he feeds sixty poor people, in this order. And so it is with killing; freeing a slave is first. If he is unable, he fasts for two consecutive months, if he killed by mistake. And so it is with intercourse during Ramadan; if a man has intercourse with his wife during Ramadan, his expiation is ordered: freeing a believing slave. If he is unable, he fasts for two consecutive months. If he is unable, he feeds sixty poor people, thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), with each poor person receiving half a sa'. As for the expiation of an oath, there is an order and there is a choice. There is a choice among the three, which are feeding, clothing, and freeing a slave. He is given the choice; if he does one of the three, it suffices. He feeds, or clothes the ten, or frees a slave, and that is enough. If he is unable to do the three, he moves to fasting, fasting for three days. Yes.
