بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

5.89

لَا یُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِیْۤ اَیْمَانِكُمْ وَ لٰـكِنْ یُّؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا عَقَّدْتُّمُ الْاَیْمَانَۚ-فَكَفَّارَتُهٗۤ اِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسٰكِیْنَ مِنْ اَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُوْنَ اَهْلِیْكُمْ اَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ اَوْ تَحْرِیْرُ رَقَبَةٍؕ-فَمَنْ لَّمْ یَجِدْ فَصِیَامُ ثَلٰثَةِ اَیَّامٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ اَیْمَانِكُمْ اِذَا حَلَفْتُمْؕ-وَ احْفَظُوْۤا اَیْمَانَكُمْؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ(89)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

Allah does not hold you responsible for your oaths taken by misunderstanding; yes, He does hold you responsible for oaths which you have made binding (upon yourselves). So, the expiation of such oaths is the feeding of ten needy people with the average (food) you feed your family with, or to clothe them, or to free one slave. Hence, the one who does not have the means for any of these should therefore fast for three days; this is the expiation of your oaths when you take an oath. And guard (i.e. fulfil) your oaths; this is how Allah explains His verses to you, that you may be grateful.

Commentary

Oaths are protected by being fulfilled if there is no harm according to the Shari‘ah. Protecting oaths also refers to not taking oaths excessively. If one expresses an oath to sin, then it is necessary not to fulfil it.
