A man swore that another would sit in a specific place, but he refused, so he swore again, and he refused again; how much expiation is due on him?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person swore that another would sit on the *markaz* (seat). He says: A person swore that another would sit on the *markaz* or the backrest.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
So he refused and sat in another place. Then the one who swore took the *markaz* and swore on it again, and he refused again. How much expiation is due on him?

The Shaykh:
He owes an expiation because he swore that a person would do something, and that person did not do it, deliberately leaving off the fulfillment of the oath. Deliberately, the expiation is on the one who swore. The expiation of an oath is on the one who swore. Yes. If one swears that another will do or not do something, and the one on whom the oath was made contradicts it, the oath becomes obligatory on the one who swore. Yes.
