Question:
We move on to another questioner who says: Is the expiation obligatory for one who swore an oath and pledged with Allah not to commit a sin, then tried to commit it but did not, rather Allah turned him away from it?
Answer:
No, as long as he did not commit it. He swore not to commit it. But if he had sworn not to intend it, then if he intended it, the expiation would be obligatory on him. However, he swore not to commit it, and he did not commit it, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
