Question:
He says: I have broken oaths that I cannot count and I do not remember their number. He says: What is the action to take in that?
Answer:
Do your best, and expiate for whatever your effort reaches. As for what you do not know, nothing is required of you. Also, regarding oaths, the expiation for oaths applies to those you intended to bind yourself to regarding a possible future matter. As for an oath regarding a past matter, if you were lying, you have sinned and you must repent. If you were not intentional, nothing is required of you. Yes,[Al-Ma'idah 5:89]. Yes.
