He says: One day I made it forbidden for myself to go to a party, but I quickly sought forgiveness from my Lord in my heart. Does that suffice?

Question:
He says: One day I made it forbidden for myself to go to a party, but I quickly sought forgiveness from my Lord in my heart. Does that suffice?

Answer:
If you made it forbidden for yourself to go to a party and then went, you must pay the expiation for an oath, because this carries the ruling of an oath. You must feed ten poor people, or clothe them, or free a slave. If you cannot find the means to do so, you must fast for three days. This is unless you made it forbidden regarding your wife, in which case there is a separate discussion. However, if it was merely a prohibition without likening your wife to something forbidden, or if you did not utter a statement regarding your wife, then the expiation for an oath applies. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
