I used to swear by Allah a lot, and I cannot count these oaths, so what is the ruling in this?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I used to swear by Allah a great deal, and I cannot count these oaths, nor can I declare myself a disbeliever for them, so what is the ruling in this?

Answer:
The ruling is that you repent to Allah and refrain from oaths, guarding your oaths. Frequent swearing is a sign of taking things lightly. In the book *Tawhid*, there is a chapter on what has come regarding frequent swearing, which indicates taking oaths lightly. You must not swear often except when necessary, and you should be truthful and sincere. If you swore not to do something or to do something and you did it intentionally, you owe an expiation. If you do not know the number, estimate it and be cautious. If they were all about one thing, one expiation is sufficient. If they were about multiple things, each oath requires an expiation. Yes.
