The answer

If the covenant is made by mentioning the name of Allah (a covenant with Allah), then it is an oath that must be fulfilled, or expiation must be offered if there is an overriding benefit in breaking it, such as the need to have offspring. However, if the covenant is not accompanied by the mention of Allah's name, then it is not an oath and does not require expiation, but it must be fulfilled unless it conflicts with an overriding benefit.
