If a person swears by Allah's name or by the Qur’an to abandon an evil act according to Sharia, and then commits it, he is obligated to offer expiation (kaffarah) for each oath, according to most scholars. Some, however, are of the view that it is a single expiation. He must strive to abandon the sin and should not swear excessively.
