Expiation for Swearing by the Mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman swears by the mushaf in front of her husband, what is the expiation, O Shaykh?

Answer:
There is no need to swear by the mushaf; one should swear by Allah, Mighty and Majestic. If she swears and then breaks her oath, she owes the expiation for an oath. She may have sworn to do something, or not to do it, or that something is false and not true, or something similar. If she is not truthful, she owes the expiation for an oath. If she breaks this oath, she owes the expiation for an oath. However, if she did it intentionally, she does not owe the expiation for an oath, but she must make up the fast she broke, whether it was an obligatory fast in Ramadan, or by a vow, or as an expiation. She must make it up by fasting one day in its place. Yes.
