Breaking a promise
Question
How to repent if I break a promise to myself upon Allah? What's the expiation for it?
Answer
If the promise is an oath and it was broken then the kaffaarah and expiation for breaking an oath is feeding 10 poor people 2 meals each or clothing each one of them or giving the equivalent of sadaqatul fitr to each one.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
