The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, it is common among the common people to say, "It is forbidden on me, I did not do this." Does this count as an oath?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if he says "it is haram" and does not specify anything.
The questioner:
It is in the expiation for an oath.

Yes.
