The Expiation for a False Oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, 'Abd al-Haydari, from the Dali' Governorate, says: We have a man who swears a lot. Is there an expiation for every oath? Or is it enough for him to repent and stop swearing?
Answer:
The default ruling is that there is an expiation for every oath if he intentionally swears and is not truthful. In that case, he owes an expiation for every oath. However, if he does not intentionally swear, but is lying in it, then his expiation is repentance. Yes.
