Oath to stop speaking to a person, then speaking to him before the time period ends

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Honorable Shaykh, he says: I am a young man who swore an oath and said, “By the Great Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so until after a month.” I was in a state of mind where I thought that one day I would retract this oath. But before two days had even passed, he called me and I spoke to him. What is required of me? And does the hadith
Actions are only by intentionsانما الاعمال بالنيات
remove the ruling from me?

Answer:
Yes, you are on your intention. If you intended that you swore you would not speak to him and intended it for a specific number of days, then you are on your intention. Yes. You have what you intended? Yes.
