Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person swore to drink poison but did not drink it, what is the ruling in that?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to drink it; rather, he breaks his oath. It is obligatory for him to break his oath and pay the expiation for his oath, so it is not permissible for him to drink the poison.
