The answer

If someone swears by a single oath concerning different matters, such as saying: "By Allah, I will not eat, and I will not drink, and I will not wear," then his expiation is a single expiation, whether he breaks one of these oaths or all of them.

As for someone who repeats the oath with its wording concerning different matters, such as saying: "By Allah, I will not do such-and-such, by Allah, I will not do such-and-such, by Allah, I will not do such-and-such," then if he breaks one of them, he owes an expiation. If he breaks all of them, the expiation multiplies according to the number of oaths.

And if he repeats the oath concerning a single matter, such as saying: "By Allah, I will not eat, by Allah, I will not eat," then his expiation is a single one, unless he intended to establish new separate oaths.
