What is the expiation for swearing by Allah falsely three times to conceal a scandal?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The aforementioned oath is called Al- 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.
