What is the jurisprudential ruling concerning someone who swore not to reprimand his son, and obligated himself to pay a financial expiation for each time he did so, then these expiations accumulated and he did not possess the means to pay them at that time, and now he has the money but does not remember the total number of times he reprimanded his son? Is he required to estimate the amount based on what he remembers, or is there another directive?
As long as your oath necessitates repetition, then what is obligatory upon you is either an expiation for each oath you broke, or fulfilling what you swore by, by paying the money you swore to pay. If you wish to pay the money but do not know its exact amount, then make an effort to ascertain it and pay what will make you certain or predominantly sure that your responsibility has been cleared.
