What is the expiation required of me due to my repeated oaths not to listen to music and breaking these oaths every time, and am I obligated to remove items from the room based on my last oath?
The questioner mentioned that he swore an oath four times and it became apparent that he broke three of them. According to the majority of scholars, three expiations are required. However, the Hanbalis hold that a single expiation suffices to absolve oneself from multiple oaths if no expiation has been made for them previously.
As for removing items from the room, if the oath concerning them was a binding one, the questioner has the choice between fulfilling it or making an expiation for it. However, if the presence of these items leads to disobedience, then their removal is obligatory. But if they have no relation to disobedience, then the questioner has a choice, and if he keeps them, he will break his fourth oath, making the total number of expiations four according to the majority of scholars.
