Allah does not catch you for the silly talks in your oaths                                            But He will take you to account for what you affirmed with the oaths.

So, its expiation is feeding ten poor people                                                                      From the average what you are feeding your families                                                   Or clothing them, or freeing a neck,                                                                                    And whoever can’t find, then fasting is for three days.

This is the expiation for your oaths when you have sworn.                                          And protect your oaths.                                                                                                          This is how Allah makes clear for you His signs                                                            So that you can be grateful.
