Breaking a vow
Question
One year ago I was caught up in a situation where I feared for my life. I kept lying about something to my perpetrators and then they asked me to keep my right hand on the Quran and make a vow. I vowed to tell the truth but again lied to them. I have repented to Allah for this wrong vow and I want to know how can I correct this.
Answer
If it was an oath in relation to something of the past then you should sincerely make taubah and repent for the lie.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
