What is the number of obligatory expiations for oaths, and must the ten needy people be poor, Muslim, and prayerful when the expiation is disbursed, and is it obligatory to search for the needy Muslim, even if it is difficult, and is it obligatory to take on debt or sell possessions to provide the amount of the expiation if the money is not available, and is it permissible to delay the expiation until the money becomes available?

If you break your oath because the person you swore upon did not leave, then expiation is due upon you. If you swear multiple oaths on different matters, the expiation multiplies with the multiplicity of the sworn-upon matters and the breaking of the oaths, even if the person who caused you to break them is one individual. For the poor person who receives the expiation, which is given as zakat (definition), it is sufficient to ascertain their outward Islam and to predominantly believe that they are eligible for zakat. Borrowing money for expiation is not obligatory for someone who does not possess wealth; rather, the one who is expiating moves directly to fasting if unable to feed, clothe, or free. Expiation is immediately obligatory, so it is necessary to hasten to it and not delay it to obtain money if you are able to fast.
