Question : A discussion took place between me and so-and-so because of his failure to be just between his wives, and I said to him, "By Allah, I will never forgive you." He said, "Do not forgive me." Then the husband died, so I forgave him. Is there anything required of me regarding the oath?

Answer : Yes, she only has to pay the expiation for an oath, and she receives reward from Allah for having forgiven him.
but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allahفَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ
