Question

Is it permissible to feed 20 people one time instead of 10 people 2 times to fulfil the Kaffaarah of a broken oath?

Answer

It is not permissible to feed 20 people for the Kaffaarah of the Qasam. The same person has to be fed two meals or the Sadqah Fitr amount must be given to one person. Each one of the ten persons should be given the Sadqah Fitr amount or be fed two meals.
