The Ruling on Breaking an Oath Not to Commit a Sin

Question
A lady swore and said: 'By the covenant of God, I will not read the coffee cup,' then she returned to doing it. What is the ruling on her action?

I say, and with God's guidance: This act is forbidden for her, and she must perform a expiation for her oath; due to not fulfilling the oath, and God knows best.
