The obligation of the expiation for an oath upon one who forbids himself something lawful
Your Eminence! A person gave me five thousand riyals on the condition that I give him a piece of land. After the land was assessed, he handed me the money, and after a period of time had passed,Every day and every night he says to me: he returned the money that was with you,And he came to me one night while I was angry, and I said to him: saying, "The money you have is forbidden to me." Now, is the money lawful for me or not? May Allah reward you with good?The Shaykh: We are asking now: is the money lawful for you or not?The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: If there was an agreement between you that if you produced the land for him, the five thousand would be yours, then it is lawful for you. As for your forbidding it, you are obligated to pay the expiation for an oath,Meaning: which is to feed ten poor people, each sa' of rice being for four persons.
