The answer

One should not frequently swear by Allah, as it diminishes the reverence for Allah. There is no expiation for oaths broken before puberty, based on the : "The pen has been lifted from three: ... and from the child until he reaches puberty." As for what occurs after puberty, expiation is obligatory for each oath, by feeding ten poor persons, clothing them, or freeing a slave. If none of these is possible, then by fasting three days for each oath. If one cannot determine the number, then expiation is required for what he believes will clear his conscience.
