The answer

Expiation is immediately obligatory. Whoever is obligated to expiate and does not possess what would feed or clothe ten poor people is not required to borrow, based on the Almighty's saying: "But whoever finds none, then a fast of three days." So if, at that time, it is true that he does not possess what he needs for expiation, he transitions to fasting. If he becomes wealthy after completing the expiation through fasting, he is not required to repeat the expiation. And if he becomes wealthy during the fast, he may continue with it according to the majority of scholars.
