Can the Kaffaarah of Yameen be paid monetarily or is it necessary to feed ten poor Muslims?

Answer

The Kaffaarah of a Yameen (Qasam / Oath) may be paid monetarily. Each of the ten poor persons may be given the Sadqah Fitr amount. The ten amounts may not be given to one person or two or less than ten persons. However, if one wishes to give it to the same person, then it may be given to him over ten days. Each day he may come and collect a Sadqah Fitr amount.
