The Ruling on Breaking an Oath Out of Necessity
A woman swore an oath not to take money from a man who sold her something because he was delaying in paying for it. However, she needed the money to register at the university, so she took the money. Does she have to pay a kaffarah (expiation) for breaking her oath?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She must offer a expiation for her oath; because she has broken her oath, and God knows best.
