The ruling on one who swears not to do a certain thing and then does it

A message was received for the program from the listener (A. N. T.) from Dar Mali, Sudan. Our brother says in his message: I swore three times not to do a specific thing, and I did that thing. What is required of me?
Answer: He owes an expiation for the oath. Even if you repeat the oath many times, as long as the thing sworn about is one single thing, the obligatory expiation is only one. For example, if you say: "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," and then you spoke to him, you owe only one expiation. Or if you say: "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," and then you visited him, it is one expiation. However, if it is regarding different actions, each action has its own expiation. For instance, if you say: "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not do such-and-such another thing," each one has its own expiation. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
