Expiation for Multiple Oaths of Unknown Number
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I took several oaths regarding different matters, including that I would not greet so-and-so, and others. I do not know how many they were. Is the expiation for me one, or more?
Answer:
If the oaths were regarding multiple matters, then each oath has its own independent expiation. If you do not know the number, estimate it and be cautious, so that your conscience is at ease with certainty.
