The Expiation for Oaths in the Case of Qasamah When the Error Is Revealed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the matter of qasamah, if the kin of the victim are convinced in their minds and they swear fifty oaths, and then it turns out that they were mistaken, is there an expiation for them for this oath? And do they commit a sin for it?

Answer:
No, they owe nothing; because they swore based on their strong conviction, they swore based on their strong conviction. If it turns out that they were mistaken, they owe nothing. Yes.
