Oaths on multiple matters with repeated oaths

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if he honors his statement, may Allah have mercy on him, and the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “And if he swears oaths on matters and says, ‘By Allah, I did not eat, I did not drink, and I did not wear,’ and he swears to all of what is upon him with every oath, what is its expiation? Is this expression correct? Because its apparent meaning contradicts the issue before it in the book, and it falls under the category of the Majalla and Allah.”

Answer:
If he swears to matters with a single oath, its expiation is a single expiation, as previously stated according to the school of thought, as he said: If he says, “By Allah, I did not eat, I did not drink, and…” and connects them with the conjunction “and,” and he did not swear except once, this suffices with a single expiation for all of them. But if he swears to matters with repeated oaths: “By Allah, I did not eat, by Allah, I did not drink, by Allah, I did not go out, by Allah, I did not go,” then according to the school of thought, each oath is independent. Each independent oath has its own expiation separately, because they are multiple oaths and do not overlap according to the school of thought. Yes.
