Question

Rafiq put his hands on the heads of his two sons and said, "I swear I will never gamble again." He later gambled. The question is, has atonement become obligatory on him for breaking this oath? 8568885959


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Yes, expiation has become obligatory on him for breaking that oath. The expiation is to satisfactorily feed each of the ten poor people who can eat a full meal twice a day. Or giving everyone a pair of clothes. And if he cannot afford it, he should fast three times in a row. It is revealed that swearing is permissible only in the name of Allah. It is not permissible to swear in the name of anything other than Allah. Similarly, swearing in the name of a child or a person or touching the head is also a sin. Of course, such an oath is wrong, but in many cases it is organized and if it is broken, atonement has to be paid. 3825148359
