What is the ruling on one who swore by the haram (forbidden) and did not fulfill what he swore to?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Okay, I am asking you a question regarding an oath. I swore an oath by the haram that, for example, the gold would be brought, but the day came and the gold was not brought.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: He swore an oath by the haram.
The Shaykh : Did you understand what I said?
The questioner: I was told that if you swore the haram on me that if you did not bring the gold today, you would not be considered my teacher. Yes. And my wife, meaning you would not be considered the same today to bring the gold except after two or three days.
The Shaykh: Oh. And she brought the gold.
The questioner: And paid all the bills.
The Shaykh: Yes, and when you swore the oath, did you specify the day you would bring them?
The questioner: I knew the oath was for the same day it came, but in an angry way, meaning not normally.
The Shaykh : I mean, you specified the day.
The questioner: Today is not today, I said I burned it before.
The Shaykh : I am not telling you about today; I am telling you about that day on which you swore. Did you specify the day on which you must bring them here?
The questioner: You did not bring them, why the same day? You brought them after how many days? Meaning after two or three days if she needed them.
The Shaykh : My dear friend, I am asking you: Did you specify the day on which you must bring the gold?
The questioner: Name the day, today, the day today.
The Shaykh : I mean, you said, "Today, you must bring them."
The questioner : Me.
The Shaykh: And tomorrow you must bring them here.
The questioner: I told him he must bring them, and they did not bring them.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. I am asking you twice, three times. Am I speaking to you in Arabic or in Albanian?
The questioner: No, it is fine, but I do not know, my handwriting is a bit...
The Shaykh : The important thing now, you specified the day, what did you say?
The questioner: And I swore the haram that if the gold did not come today, you would not be my wife.
The Shaykh: And she did not bring them on that day, yes, an oath expiation will come out for you, and that is all.
The questioner: Meaning breaking a fetus, just.
The Shaykh : It does not result in a divorce or something similar to that.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with all good. Thank you.
The Shaykh : Do you know what the expiation for an oath is?
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, it will be broken, I do not know.
The Shaykh : Yes, will you ask someone else? Or shall I give you the answer without a question?
The questioner : Thank you.
The Shaykh : Fine, you must bring ten poor people to your house and cook for them a meal like the meals you eat in your house, once, in one sitting.
The questioner: You distribute one, meaning.
The Shaykh : Yes, so if ten are not feasible for you, then five, five. If five are not feasible for you, then five, whatever is feasible for you.
The questioner: Not a problem.
The Shaykh : As for money, it is not permissible.
The questioner : Fine, thank you, my master, the Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Welcome, and likewise to you.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: He swore an oath by the haram.
The Shaykh : Did you understand what I said?
