Is expiation required for one who intended an oath (such as saying: "I swear by Allah that I will do such and such") but did not utter it, and then failed to do what he intended?
If you intended to swear an oath but did not utter it, then your oath is not binding, and you are not required to offer expiation if you do the thing you intended to swear an oath about.
