What is the ruling on someone who swore to abandon masturbation and to inform her father and brother if she returned to it, then she returned to it? And does the oath fall away from her by informing them indirectly or by asking for their forgiveness without divulging the details?

The questioner must sincerely repent from her forbidden act and refrain from boasting about it. If the choice is between informing her father and brother or breaking her oath, then breaking the oath is preferable, along with the necessity of making expiation for it. She must review the fatwas related to masturbation and the expiation for an oath, strive to find a righteous husband through supplication and lawful means, and inform her family of her need for marriage.
