The ruling on one who makes a covenant regarding something and then betrays it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
If he makes a covenant regarding something?

Answer:
If he says, "I have the covenant of Allah that I will not reveal this secret," it is not permissible for him to reveal it. If he does reveal it, he commits a sin. It is not an oath; it is not an oath. Rather, he must repent to Allah if he betrays the secret.
