The expiation for an oath if it is repeated?

The questioner : The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh! A person swore that he would not do a specific thing, then he did that thing and did not fulfill his oath. Then he returned, and then he swore again to leave off this thing, so he left it off for a period of time. Then he returned to it, and this action was repeated from him. He wants to expiate for these repeated oaths. Is one expiation obligatory upon him, or is it obligatory upon him to expiate for every oath he swore, knowing that the oath was on one action or on himself?

The Shaykh : In practice.

The questioner : On one action or on the same thing every time?

The Shaykh : If the oaths are repeated, and if the thing sworn upon is one thing, then the expiation is not repeated by that. And if oaths are repeated on multiple things, then he has broken the oath in each one, and the breaking of the oath is followed by the expiation. The summary is that if the oaths are multiple, if they are on one action, then one expiation suffices for him. And if they are on two actions, then for each action, for each action there is an expiation. An example of the first: he says, "By Allah, I will not wear this garment." Then he is silent for an hour or two hours, then he says, "By Allah, I will not wear this garment." Here, is the thing sworn upon multiple or one? One. One expiation is sufficient. And an example of the second: he says, "By Allah, I will not wear this garment," "By Allah, I will not leave the house," "By Allah, I will not give so-and-so anything." Here, an expiation is obligatory upon him for every oath because the thing sworn upon has become multiple. Yes.
