"In the expiation for an oath (kaffarat al-yamin), it is necessary to feed half a Saa' of food to each poor person, which is approximately one and a half kilograms. It is also permissible to feed the poor person two meals: lunch and dinner. Therefore, you must provide the aforementioned poor individuals with 20 additional meals, serving as lunch and dinner, to complete the required feeding."
