The Expiation of One Who Swears Often and Does Not Know the Number of His Oaths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man swears by Allah frequently, then he retracts his oath but does not perform its expiation, and he does not know how many oaths he retracted. What is the expiation?
Answer:
He must exert himself to estimate the oaths he swore that require expiation, because not every oath requires expiation. However, if these oaths are of the kind that obligates expiation, and he has violated them and broken them, he must perform the expiation. He should exert himself to determine the number of oaths and perform expiation for them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
