Does the expiation for an oath become obligatory for someone who swore not to return to watching pornography and practicing masturbation, and then returned to them? What is the measure of feeding a poor person? Is expiation multiplied by the multiplicity of oaths? Does expiation drop if one says "in sha' Allah" (God willing) after swearing an oath?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever repeats oaths concerning a single matter and then breaks them owes one expiation, which is feeding ten poor persons, or clothing them, or emancipating a slave. If one cannot find [any of these], then one must fast three days. If the one taking the oath says, "In shaa Allah (God willing)," he does not break his oath, and nothing is incumbent upon him. A Muslim should avoid matters that he swears to abandon.
