If one swears an oath against his family, is it obligatory for him to break it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If one swears an oath against his family, from the perspective of obligation, from the perspective of the lesser degree

Answer : not from the perspective of recommendation. The apparent meaning of the hadith indicates prohibition and that he must expiate for his oath and leave this practice, but it is understood to apply when he persists with them in a forbidden matter, or when there is a fear of separation and disintegration within the family, or something similar.
