The ruling on one who swears to abandon a sin and then commits it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I swore by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) not to commit any of the sins, but I returned and did it. What is required of me? Guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must repent to Allah, feel remorse, abandon the sin, be cautious of returning to it, and resolve not to return to it. You must repent to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), and you must pay the expiation for the oath; because you broke your oath, you must pay the expiation for the oath, which is feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. Whoever is unable to do so must fast for three days. Along with this, you must repent to Allah, feel remorse, abandon it, and not return to this sin, with a sincere resolve not to return to it. Whoever seeks help from Allah, Allah will help him, (Exalted and Majestic is He).
So fear Allah, watch over your relationship with Allah, and beware of your desires and your Shaytan. Adhere to repentance from this sin and others. You must pay the expiation for the oath, which is feeding ten poor people, ten destitute people, by providing them dinner or breakfast, or giving each one half a sa' of dates, or rice, or wheat, half a sa', approximately one and a half kilograms for each person, or providing them dinner or breakfast, even if you do so separately; it is not necessary to gather them together, even if you do so separately. Or clothe them with a garment, a shirt for each one that is sufficient for prayer, a shirt, or an izar and a rida, or free a slave if you find something. If you are unable to do all of this, being poor and unable to afford feeding, or clothing, or freeing a slave, then at that point you fast for three days. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
