What is the expiation for one who made vows and swore oaths regarding false matters and lied in some of them during an illicit relationship, while not remembering their number?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One must repent for falsely swearing on the Qur'an. Most scholars are of the opinion that expiation (kaffara) is not required in such a case. As for the form of vow () mentioned, it is a vow to commit a sin, which is not permissible to fulfill, and it requires an expiation for an oath.
If the intention behind the oaths was not to sever the relationship, then they pertain to a single sworn matter; consequently, only one expiation is required for breaking them.
