The ruling on one who swears not to do something and then does it under compulsion

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: If a person swears not to do a certain act, and then he performs it under compulsion, what is required of him?

Answer:
If he was compelled, he owes nothing. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
my nation for mistakes and forgetfulness, and what they are forced to doلأمتي الخطأ والنسيان وما استكرهوا عليه
Sunan Ibn Majah 2045Sahih (Darussalam)
So compulsion carries no sin for the one who is compelled, because he has no choice.
