What is the ruling on going to a place that I swore not to go to during the daytime in Ramadan, and does fasting three days after Ramadan expiate this oath?

The answer

"Whoever breaks an oath sworn by Allah is subject to the expiation mentioned in the words of Allah Almighty: 'Its expiation is the feeding of ten poor people from the average of what you feed your own families, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. But whoever finds none – then a fast of three days. That is the expiation for oaths when you have sworn. And guard your oaths. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be grateful' (Al-Ma'idah: 89). What is now obligatory for you after breaking the oath is to feed ten poor people, or clothe them, or free a slave. If you are unable to do any of that, then you must fast for three days after Eid al-Fitr. Fasting for three days is not sufficient for one who is able to feed, clothe, or free a slave."
