oath

A man had a quarrel with his wife. In the heat of arguments, he swore by the Qur'an that he would take a second wife. However, he has no intention to fulfill it. Should he be penalized with kaffarah for not fulfilling his vow?

MAKING AN OATH THAT IS LATER REGRETTEDassalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatulah. A few years back I had relationship with a muslim man without being married. We used to call each other husband and wife in our own privacy, and he had convinced me that in Islam we were married because the angels had witnessed us calling each other husband and wife. << He also made me swear by Allah that in the Hereafter I would ask Allah that he is in Jannah with me as my husband, even if I were to get married to someone else later in life. >>  Then Allah guided me to realise that that man, even though the son of an imam, was a hypocrite, so I expelled him from my life. Allah also guided me to realise that, even if that man had been of perfect character, I had still committed a grevious sin. So I repented bitterly, and spent 2 years away from illegal liaisons, wearing hijab, asking for forgiveness, and developing my Islam. When I felt my heart somehow lighter from the burden of my past, I sought to get married, and Allah showed me His great Mercy by leading me to a wonderful brother. I have now been married for three years, but that oath still troubles me. I love my husband and I want him to be in Jannah with me insha Allah.  It is certainly not my intention to ask Allah to be that other man's wife in Jannah. What are your views on the issue, and is there anything I can do to compensate for an oath now regretted? Thanking you in advance.

Respected scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. There is a man who swore in a court saying, " I swear by Allah that the age of my son is 15 years." But he knew that his son is actually 16 and a half years old, but he did not mention the actual age because he sought the interest of this son in another matter. Is there any expiation for this false oath? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

As-Salamu `Alaykum. I made a lot of oaths by Allah to the extent that I don’t remember how many, but I am sure that they are a lot. Now, how can I make Kafarah? I feel so worried about what I did and I am trying to keep myself from swearing too much by Allah, Insha’ Allah. Thanks a lot!

Many people, especially merchants, swear oaths a lot in selling or buying. One hears merchants, drivers, workers swearing oaths that something is good quality, or that a statement is true, etc. What is the ruling concerning this swearing?

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Does swearing by something other than Allah nullify one’s Islam? And what if one says something but he was not really paying attention to what he was saying (e.g. if you were really sleepy and you didn’t really mean it and then when you realize what you are doing and that it is not good, you stop.) In that case is one excused from what he has said? And what if one just thinks it but does not mean to, and then do not say it? May Allah reward you for your help. Jazakum Allah khayran.

Scholars of Islam, As-Salamu `alaykum. What is the expiation for making a false oath?
