The answer

"The covenant with Allah Almighty must be fulfilled, and its breach necessitates repentance and expiation. The covenant is not abrogated by inadvertently committing a forbidden act; expiation for it is like the expiation for an oath. For indeed, what is forbidden is inherently forbidden, and abandoning it is obligatory. The covenant only serves to further confirm this."
