Is it permissible for one who is expiating an oath (al-mukaffir) to choose between giving one and a half kilograms of rice to each destitute person, or feeding ten destitute persons two meals (lunch and dinner), given that there is a difference in value between the two options?

You have a choice regarding expiation for an oath: you can either give each of the ten needy persons half a sa' of rice (approximately 1.5 kg), or feed them a lunch and a dinner. What you have done in either case is sufficient for you.
