A woman inserted a stick in her ear and blood came out, so she swore not to do it again; does the oath lapse because she swore while in a state of fear?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman inserted a cleaning stick in her ear, and that caused blood to flow from her ear. When she saw it, she swore out of extreme anxiety not to repeat this act. Then she broke her oath. His question is: Does the oath lapse in a state of extreme anxiety, just as divorce lapses in a state of extreme anger?

Answer:
No. Imagine what you are saying. You do not insert the stick. Imagine what you are saying. It does not take place if a person’s mind is racing and he does not know what he is saying. Yes. Likewise, the oath. Yes.
