Feeding poor people for breaking an oath
Question
I broke few oaths made in my lifetime. In order to do the kaffarah, I have to feed 10 persons 2 times or buy clothes or fast for 3 days. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I can afford to sponsor food for 10 persons twice. But it’s difficult for me to feed the same 10 persons twice. Can I feed 20-30 persons once or shall I fast 3 days (easiest option)?
Answer
If it is difficult to feed then why don't you give ten poor people each the amount of sadaqatul fitr as the kaffarah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
