What is the ruling on someone who swore not to enter pornographic websites and websites promoting sexual culture, then returned to entering them after having expiated his oath? Is he obligated to offer expiation for an oath (kaffarat yamin) for every time he entered them, or not?
The multiplicity of expiation depends on the wording of the oath and the intention of the swearer. If the swearer did not say "every time I do" or intend that, then the expiation does not multiply with the repetition of the act. However, if he intended that, then the expiation multiplies with the repetition of the act sworn about.
Accordingly, if you intended that you owe expiation every time you enter the mentioned websites, then the expiation multiplies. If you did not intend that, then you owe only one expiation.
We emphasize the obligation of lowering one's gaze from the forbidden, and that repentance has conditions, including cessation, remorse, and firm resolve not to return to the sin.
