The expiation for an oath is feeding ten poor people from the average of what you feed your families, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. And whoever cannot find [the means], then [it is] fasting for three days. The value of the feeding is to be given to the poor and needy, or to charitable organizations, with a clear explanation that it is expiation for an oath.
