The Obligation of Expiation on the One Who Breaks an Oath, Even If He Was Angry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I went on a trip, and when we were on the road, the time for the Maghrib prayer arrived, but my father did not stop to pray, claiming that we were traveling and that we would make it up at home after arriving. As a result, I swore that I would not go on a trip with them again, and I was angry. Is there no blame on me for my oath because I was angry, or is it obligatory for me to do something? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: ......, repeat it, yes, we seek help from Allah. Yes.
The presenter: He says: I went on a trip, and when we were on the road, the time for the Maghrib prayer arrived, but my father did not stop to pray, claiming that we were traveling and that we would make it up at home after arriving. As a result, I swore that I would not go on a trip with them again, and I was angry. If I travel with them, is there an expiation on me, or is there nothing on me because I was angry?
Answer:
You have an expiation on you; the expiation for an oath. There is nothing wrong with their action if they delay the Maghrib prayer while traveling and pray it combined with the Isha prayer, even if they are in the town, there is no blame, and praise be to Allah. It is permissible for a traveler to delay the first prayer with the second if he is on the road of travel: Maghrib with Isha, and Zuhr with Asr, if he is continuing in travel, in which case it is a combination by delay. As for your oath, you have the expiation for an oath on you: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If you are unable to do so, you fast three days, and praise be to Allah.
