Expiation for swearing an oath to abandon a sin and then committing it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu 'Umar from Riyadh says: I swore by Allah that I would not commit a specific violation or sin, and that if I did, I would give a sum of money in charity. Then, after a period of time, I went back and committed it, and I sought forgiveness from Allah the Exalted. What is required of me now? He swore not to commit a sin. Yes, so he went back to this sin and committed it.
The Shaykh:
He owes the expiation for an oath. If he goes back to it, he owes the expiation for an oath, and he must repent. He repents from the sin and expiates for his oath. A Muslim abandons a sin even if he has not sworn an oath; he abandons the sin even if he has not sworn an oath. Yes.
