The answer

The one who performs ẓihār against his wife must offer expiation in the following order: emancipating a slave; if he is unable to do so, then fasting for two consecutive months; if he is unable to do so, then feeding sixty poor people. Feeding is not permissible unless one is unable to emancipate a slave and fast. If he chooses to feed, he must feed sixty poor people enough for their lunch and dinner. According to some scholars, a single meal for each poor person is sufficient.
