The answer

Lying under oath is one of the major sins and is considered a ghāmūs oath if it pertains to a past event. There is no expiation for it, only repentance. If the one taking the oath is in a state of major ritual impurity (junub), then touching the Mus'haf (Qur'an) is forbidden for him. Repentance must involve remorse and a firm resolve not to return to lying.
