The Ruling on Breaking an Oath When Unable to Fast

Question
A woman’s husband swore that he would not buy her a phone, and after two days, he bought it for her, forgetting that he had taken an oath. What are the consequences of this, knowing that he is unable to fast due to the nature of his work?
