What is the expiation for an oath after breaking it by saying, "By God Almighty, I will not go to that place," and then going there?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The expiation for an oath has been clarified by Allah in Surat Al-Ma'idah: "feeding ten poor people from the average of what you feed your your own families, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. But whoever finds not [the means to do so] - then a fast of three days." There is no condition for these fasts to be consecutive.
