The Ruling on Numerous Oaths of an Unknown Number

Question:
I have made many oaths regarding various matters, and I am not certain of the number of these oaths. What is the ruling? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
The ruling is that if you know their number, you expiate for them. If you do not know their number, you must estimate them and choose. You estimate them and choose. If you are unable to estimate, then nothing is required of you, because you do not know the number of these oaths, nor do you know their types or what is required in them, until you know them by certainty or by estimation. If you are unable to do both—neither estimation nor certainty—then you wait until the forgetfulness is lifted, or you wait, perhaps you will remember. Hmm? Hmm?
If one swears several oaths on one matter, several oaths with one consequence, oaths by Allah, all oaths by Allah on one matter, then he expiates with one expiation; because they overlap under two conditions. The first condition is that they are all of the same type, for example, oaths by Allah. The second condition is that the consequence is one. For example, one is an oath of zihar, one is an oath of divorce, and one is an oath by Allah; these have their own rulings. Yes.
