Fasting for three days is not sufficient for one who has broken an oath unless he is unable to feed ten needy persons, or clothe them, or free a slave. Furthermore, according to the Hanbalis and some scholars, the fasting of these three days must be consecutive, while others consider it recommended. It is permissible to disburse the expiation for feeding (the needy) separately.
