Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the criterion for the oath that entails sin? Does it have an expiation?
The Shaykh:
The oath that entails sin is when one swears to a past matter while being reluctant. This oath is when one swears to a past matter falsely and intentionally. This is the oath that entails sin. Yes.
The questioner:
Does it have an expiation?
The Shaykh:
Its expiation is repentance. It does not have an expiation in the sense of feeding, ransom, or fasting. Its expiation is seeking forgiveness and repentance. Yes.
