Presenting the expiation before the sin or after it

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a person swears an oath and then sees a better option and wants to make expiation, the question is: does he perform the better action and then make expiation, or must he make expiation first and then perform the better action?

Answer:
Both are permissible. Reports have come regarding both: that one performs the expiation first and then does the better action, or that one does the better action first and then makes expiation. All of it is permissible. The important thing is that he makes expiation. Yes.
