The answer

If you fed the aforementioned individuals only one meal, your expiation is not sufficient, and you must feed them another meal, provided they are all needy, or you can perform a separate expiation. However, if you gave each needy person bread and meat, and what you gave to each one amounted to two pounds (815 grams), then your expiation is sufficient, provided they are all needy. Jurists have permitted giving two pounds of bread or a mudd of food with relish to the needy. Also, giving out one and a half kilograms of uncooked food is sufficient.
