The answer

Feeding sixty poor people as expiation means giving each poor person half a sa‘ of the staple food of the land, uncooked. It is also permissible to cook food for sixty poor people and gather them to eat it. It is not permissible to give all of it to a poor family whose number is less than sixty, but it is permissible to give half a sa‘ to a single poor person from multiple expiations.
