How many expiations are required if the oaths are multiple?

Question:
Ibn Damiri from Kirkuk sent a question, saying: If a person swears by Allah not to do something multiple times, and then does that thing intentionally, is he required to pay one expiation...

The Shaykh: Repeat.

The presenter: He says: If a person swears by Allah not to do something multiple times, and then does that thing intentionally, is he required to pay one expiation, or multiple expiations in different places?
May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As long as the thing sworn about is one single thing, he owes only one expiation. If the thing sworn about is one single thing, for example, if he says: "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," and "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," and then repeats this over many days or months, swearing that he will not speak to so-and-so, this is one oath, even if he repeats it. If he speaks to him, he owes only one expiation. Likewise, if he says: "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not visit him," and repeats this a hundred times over many days, and then visits him, he owes only one expiation, because his action is one.
However, if he says: "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," "By Allah, I will not speak to him," and "By Allah, I will not eat his food," and then he visits him, speaks to him, and eats his food, he owes three expiations; because each action has its own specific oath. The food, the visit, and the speech—each action has an expiation; because they are different actions. Yes.
