The answer

A Muslim must expiate for the sins committed through sincere repentance, remorse, abundant good deeds, and seeking forgiveness, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful to those who repent. If a person breaks their oath, they must offer expiation, which is feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If unable to do so, then they must fast for three days. If one has fasted two days, they must complete the third day. It is more cautious to fast the three days consecutively, to avoid the differing opinion of those who mandate consecutive fasting for expiation.
