The Expiation for a Repeated Oath on a Single Matter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If it is repeated with the same [intention]. Amen. The expiation is upon you.
The Shaykh:
One expiation, yes, if it is a single oath, meaning on one single thing. Let them say, “I have made it permissible to break my oath.” And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 3780Sahih (Darussalam). If you expiate for your oath and then do what you were told, the repetition occurs. The emphasis is a matter of emphasis. “By Allah, I will not taste this,” “By Allah, I will not taste this,” “By Allah, I will not taste this,” “By Allah, I will not be burdened with this,” “By Allah, I will not be burdened with this,” even if said reluctantly. It is one oath. If the matter is on one day, “By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so,” “By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so,” even if he says it a hundred times, if he visits him, he owes one expiation.
If it is repeated with the same [intention]. Amen. The expiation is upon you.
The Shaykh:
One expiation, yes, if it is a single oath, meaning on one single thing. Let them say, “I have made it permissible to break my oath.” And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
By Allah, I do not swear an oath and then see something
إني والله لا أحلف على يمين فأرى غيرها
