Fatwa number ( 8558 )
Q: A man came to work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia , sat for three months without work, and then worked as a building guard for one of the contractors, but the contractor treated him in a way he could not bear, so the world
closed in on him, and he swore on the mushaf that he would not work as a guard , even if it were with his brother, and because his health could not withstand any other work, he was forced to work as a guard in one of the buildings, and in fact he is now doing this job (guard). What is the ruling on this oath, and what is the expiation?
A: If the situation is as described, it is obligatory for the man mentioned to pay the expiation for the oath, which is: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a believing slave. If he cannot find the means to do so, he must fast for three days. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
