The Ruling on Paying the Expiation of an Oath from Goods
If a person's financial situation is poor and they owe an expiation for an oath, is it permissible for them to provide food such as eggs and a loaf of bread, for example, to ten needy people, most of whom are children?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The condition for the expiation is to feed ten needy people, and it does not prevent it from being eggs and bread, and God knows best.
