The Expiation for a False Oath and a Binding Oath

Question:
The questioner is from Sudan, a listener, and a resident of the Kingdom. He sent a letter containing a collection of questions, one of which says: Is the deceased punished by the weeping of his family over him?

Answer:
If a person swears a false oath by Allah, he commits a sin and must repent and seek forgiveness, but he does not owe an expiation. The expiation is only for a binding oath, as Allah the Exalted said: This is when one intends to bind it to a possible future event, a possible future event. For example, saying, "By Allah, I will not eat this food," or "By Allah, I will certainly eat from this food," meaning he swears to do a future act or to deny a future act. This is the type that requires an expiation. Yes.
