The Expiation for a Woman’s Oath: Is It Binding on the Husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a woman swore an oath to refrain from something and then did it, is the expiation on the husband or on the woman, given that the woman does not have any money with which to pay the expiation?
Answer:
It is not the husband who enters into the oath, for he did not swear. The expiation is on the one who swore. If someone else bears it with his permission, there is no harm.
