Question
A person has broken his oath. What should he do?
Answer
The penalty (Kaffaarah) for breaking an oath is to feed ten poor Muslims, each one two meals. If one wishes to pay the penalty with money, it will be permissible. Each one of the ten should be given the Sadaqah Fitr amount. If the person himself is poor and cannot afford to feed ten persons, then he has to fast three consecutive days - one day after the other.
