Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Whoever gives clothing to the poor as expiation for an oath, if he gives to poor men, giving one garment to each is sufficient, and if he gives to women, he should give two garments: a shirt and a head covering, which is called a khimar, because prayer is not valid with less than this.
Sulayman bin Yasar said that I saw people, when they would give the expiation for an oath, they used to give each poor person one mudd of wheat with the smaller mudd, and they considered that sufficient.
