The aforementioned oath is called Al-Yamin Al-Ghamus (the immersing oath), and it is among the major sins. What is incumbent upon you is sincere repentance, remorse, and seeking forgiveness, while taking precaution and offering expiation for an oath (kaffarat yamin) for each Al-Yamin Al-Ghamus, to avoid the dispute among those who deem it obligatory.
