Repeating an Oath on a Single Matter and Its Expiation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I swore an oath several times, in several gatherings, that I would not do a certain thing. Then it occurred to me to do it, and it is a good thing. Do I have to pay an expiation for each oath I made?
Answer:
You owe only one expiation, as long as the matter you swore about is a single thing. If the oaths were repeated on the same thing before you paid the expiation, you owe only one expiation, because they overlap.
