The answer

If your oath was conditional on a man not fulfilling his promise and he did not fulfill it, then there is no expiation (kaffara) upon you, nor is there sin. However, if your oath was not conditional on anything, then expiation for the oath is incumbent upon you, which is feeding ten needy persons, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If you cannot find any of these, then fasting for three days.
