How is the food for expiation of an oath to be given out? Is it permissible to give it uncooked to a single family? Does "the poor" include young children? And is it necessary to inform the father when food is being taken out of his house?

The method of feeding the needy is by providing two ready-made meals, lunch and dinner, for ten needy persons, or by giving each needy person a mudd (about 625 grams) of the average food. It is permissible to give it to a single family consisting of ten needy persons, whether they are young or old. It is not permissible to give charity from another's money without their permission.
