Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "I understood from people that when they made the kaffara for a broken oath, they gave a mudd of wheat according to the smaller mudd. They thought that that would compensate for them." Malik said, "The best of what I have heard about the one who does kaffara for breaking his oath by clothing people is that if he clothes men he clothes them each in one garment. If he clothes women, he clothes them each in two garments, a long shift and a long scarf, because that is what is satisfactory for each of them in the prayer

وحدثني عن مالك، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن سليمان بن يسار، انه قال ادركت الناس وهم اذا اعطوا في كفارة اليمين اعطوا مدا من حنطة بالمد الاصغر وراوا ذلك مجزيا عنهم . قال مالك احسن ما سمعت في الذي يكفر عن يمينه بالكسوة انه ان كسا الرجال كساهم ثوبا ثوبا وان كسا النساء كساهن ثوبين ثوبين درعا وخمارا وذلك ادنى ما يجزي كلا في صلاته
