What is the ruling on money vowed to be given in charity, after the questioner returned to the sin he vowed to abandon, and is expiation for breaking an oath incumbent upon him?

The questioner must offer sincere repentance for his sin. His vow not to pay the expiation for an oath is a vow of lajaj and ghadab (stubbornness and anger). In this type of vow, the vower has a choice between two things: either to do what he vowed to do, or to pay the expiation for an oath. Since the vow contained two vows – giving charity with money and not paying the expiation for an oath – he must either give the money in charity, or pay two expiations for an oath by feeding twenty poor people from the average of his food.
