Is it permissible to give the value of expiation for an oath in money, based on the noble verse: "Its expiation is the feeding of ten poor people from the average of that which you feed your own families"?

Scholars have differed on the issue of giving money as expiation, falling into two main opinions: 1. The majority of scholars (Malikis, Shafi'is, Hanbalis): Money is not sufficient as a substitute for food or clothing in expiations. This is based on a strict interpretation of the Quranic text, which specifies feeding, clothing, or freeing a slave. They believe that expiation cannot be achieved by anything other than what Allah has commanded. 2. The Hanafis: Giving money as expiation is permissible.

The preponderant opinion is that of the majority, which states that monetary value is not sufficient for the expiation of an oath or other forms of expiation.
