The questioner:
A man has a very large piece of land with a hereditary possession passed down from father to son, and this man has taken an oath. What should he do?
The Shaykh:
I do not know what is meant by the oath. If the oath is regarding this land, that he does not use it, and if the intention is that he swore he would not use this land or benefit from it, then he must expiate his oath by feeding ten poor people, or clothing ten poor people, or freeing a slave. If he cannot find the means to do so, he must fast for three days and benefit from this land, and his oath does not become forbidden because of what Allah the Exalted has made lawful. Yes.
