One who quarreled with his friend over playing the card game of Belot and swore not to play it, then returned and played it

Question:
I used to play the card game of Belot with some people, and a dispute arose between us over a card. In my anger, I forbade myself from playing with any of them, but then I went back and played with them. What is required of me? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Playing the card game of Belot is not permissible because it is idle amusement. Furthermore, it leads to the grudges and anger between some of them and others that the questioner mentioned, so there is no good in it. They should avoid it. If he forbade it or swore not to do it and then returned to it, he has committed a sin. Additionally, he owes an expiation for the oath. He owes an expiation for the oath: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. Whoever cannot find the means to do so must fast for three days.
