Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I swore not to do something, and I was very angry, but after I calmed down I did that thing. Do I have to pay an expiation for the oath?
Answer:
If the anger was overwhelming and you did not know what you were saying, then your oath is not established because you did not intend it; it is a void oath. But if you were aware of what you were saying and intended what you were saying, then it is established and you must pay an expiation. Yes.
