Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
The expiation for breaking an oath is to free a slave, or to feed ten needy people, or to clothe them. If one is unable to do any of these, then fasting for three consecutive days is required.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
The expiation for breaking an oath is to free a slave, or to feed ten needy people, or to clothe them. If one cannot do this, then fasting for three consecutive days is obligatory, and it is preferable to ensure that the days are consecutive.
