The ruling on swearing an oath not to enter one's brother's house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I swore an oath not to enter my brother's house, but I entered it during the period of condolence for the death of a relative of ours. What is the ruling on my oath?

Answer:
Yes, the oath is binding and you must pay the expiation; because when you entered, the oath was broken, so you owe the expiation. And this is better: that you visit your brother, maintain your family ties, and pay the expiation for your oath. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
