Is expiation (kaffarah) obligatory for the oath, "By God, I will never bring her into the house again," after the friend arrived, knowing that the oath was uttered in a state of extreme anger?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Quarreling with one's mother and raising one's voice at her is forbidden and considered an act of disobedience (ʿuqūq). Your statement, "By the life of Allah, I will never bring her to the house again," is considered a binding oath. If your friend comes [to your house], you are required to offer expiation for breaking an oath.
