god will not call you to account for your meaningless oaths but he will call you to account for the oaths which you swear in earnest. the expiation for a broken oath is the feeding of ten needy men with such food as you normally offer to your own people or the clothing of ten needy men or the freeing of one slave. anyone who lacks the means shall fast for three days. that is the expiation of your breaking the oaths that you have sworn. do keep your oaths. thus god explains to you his commandments so that you may be grateful.
لا يؤاخذكم الله باللغو في أيمانكم ولكن يؤاخذكم بما عقدتم الأيمان فكفارته إطعام عشرة مساكين من أوسط ما تطعمون أهليكم أو كسوتهم أو تحرير رقبة فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة أيام ذلك كفارة أيمانكم إذا حلفتم واحفظوا أيمانكم كذلك يبين الله لكم آياته لعلكم تشكرون
