a question concerning oaths

[Ummu Sufyaan]

does one still have to pay the expiation (kaffaarah) is one breaks an oath out of forgetfulness?

 

['Abd al-Baari]

Thread Approved.

" But if he broke his oath because he was forced to, or he forgot or out of ignorance, then no kafaarah is due.

The evidence for that is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error”

[al-Baqarah 2:286]​

And Allaah has said, “I have done that” [i.e., forgiven them].

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has forgiven my ummah for mistakes and forgetfulness and what they are forced to do.”.

Narrated by Ibn Maajah in his Sunan, Kitaab al-Talaaq, 2043; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah, 1662, 1664.

And Allaah knows best."
