Hanifi Fiqr Part 1

3.0 EXPIATION OF A BROKEN OATH

3.1 The Form of the Expiation

1. The expiation of an oath is:

Freeing a slave. There suffices for it that which suffices in [the expiation of zihar]. [Or]
If one wishes, he may clothe ten destitute people, [giving] each of them one garment or more, the minimum of [each] being that in which salah is valid, [or]
If one wishes, he may feed ten destitute people, like the feeding in the expiation of zihar.
2. If one is not capable of any of these three things, one fasts three consecutive days.


3.2 When the Expiation becomes Due

1. If one payed the expiation before the breaking of the oath, it does not suffice him.

2. Whoever does the sworn thing under coercion or forgetfully is equal [in the requirement for expiation to one who did it deliberately and willingly].



3.3 Cases in which Expiation Is or Is not Binding

1. Whoever swore to [commit an act of] disobedience [to Allah], such as [swearing] that he would not pray, or that he would not speak to his father, or that he would certainly kill so-and-so, it is essential that he break his oath and expiate it.

2. If an unbeliever swore and then broke the oath in his state of unbelief, or after his [acceptance of] Islam, then there is no [penalty of] breaking the oath upon him.

3. Whoever prohibited something upon himself which he possesses, it does not become inherently prohibited, but he must expiate the oath if he takes it as permissible.

4. Whoever swore that he will surely ascend into the sky, or [that] he shall surely turn this stone into gold, his oath is enacted, and he should expiate it thereafter.


4.0 VOWS

1. One who makes an unrestricted vow must fulfil it.

2. If one attached his vow to a condition, and then the condition occurred, then he must fulfil the very vow. But, it has been narrated that Abu Hanifah revoked that [verdict] and said : If he said, "If I do such-and-such then [obligatory] upon me is a hajj," or "fasting a year," or "giving what I own in charity," [then] expiation suffices him for that, and that is [also] the verdict of Muhammad.
