Is it required for one who has broken an oath and is obligated to offer expiation that he possess the means for the expiation of feeding (the poor), or should he fast?

If the one who broke the oath does not find sufficient money to feed ten poor people or clothe them at the time of breaking the oath or at the time of atonement for the oath, then fasting three days for each oath is sufficient for him, and he is not obligated to wait for the availability of money.
