Which is better if one swears an oath regarding a permissible matter: should he fulfill his oath or pay the expiation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. Which permissible matter? If the matter is permissible, should he perform the expiation or break the oath?
The Shaykh : It is all the same; it is all the same, as long as the oath has been made, the cause has been established.
The questioner : Yes, preserve the oath of your children if he performs the expiation and then does it.
The Shaykh : Also, if he waits until he does it, he may hasten away from breaking the oath, thus preserving the oath from being broken.
