If a person swears by Allah falsely, is there an expiation for him?

Question:
May Allah bless you. If a person swears by Allah falsely, is there an expiation for him, and is it obligatory for him to fast for three days?

Answer:
If he swears by Allah completely, he commits a sin, and he must repent and seek forgiveness, but there is no expiation for him. The expiation is only for a binding oath. And Allah the Exalted said: This means that he intends to bind it to a possible future matter, a possible matter. So if he says, "By Allah, I will not eat this food," or "By Allah, I will certainly eat from this food," meaning he swears to do a future thing, or to deny a future thing, this is the one for which there is an expiation. Yes.
