How to make expiation for multiple oaths that one has broken
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (F. A.) says: What is the ruling for one who swore several times to do certain things, then regretted it and did them because there is good in doing so? Is the expiation obligatory only once, or is there an expiation for each one?
Answer:
If it is one oath, there is one expiation. For example, if he says, "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so, I will not speak to so-and-so, and I will not eat so-and-so's food," and then he does one of these things, it is one expiation, because it is one oath.
As for when he repeats the oaths, saying, "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," that is one; "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," that is two; "By Allah, I will not eat so-and-so's food," that is three. Each one has its own expiation.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
