The expiation for swearing an oath four times by leaving off speaking to one's brother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This person asks and says: A disagreement occurred between me and my brother, so I swore four oaths not to speak to him, and I am now regretful of that. So do I expiate with four expiations or one expiation?
The Shaykh:
You expiate with one expiation, and that is sufficient; because the expiations in this case overlap, so one expiation is sufficient for the oath. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you, these are pleasant matters.
The Shaykh:
They were on one single matter.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
If the oaths are on one single matter, but if the oaths are on multiple matters, then every oath has its own expiation. Yes.
