Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the statement of one who says, "By the forbidden, I will certainly do such and such," considered an oath by other than Allah? And does it require an expiation? Knowing that the one who says it does not know the meaning of that?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. If he says, "It is forbidden for me to do such and such," and then he does it, he commits the sin of forbidding what is lawful. This is an oath.[At-Tahrim 66:1-2] That is, the expiation for forbidding what is lawful is the expiation for an oath. Yes.

why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (2) Allah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths
لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ تَبْتَغِي مَرْضَاتَ أَزْوَاجِكَ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ أَيْمَانِكُمْ
