Taking an oath not to talk to one's family members
Question
I recently swore upon the Quran in anger that I would not talk to my family members in a fight and if I do, may Allah punish me and give me a terrible death. Allah knows that I did it merely out of anger which I regretted instantly. But now I fear of this stupid and poor act of mines. How can I repent? Is there anyway Allah will forgive me and not punish me?
Answer
It is compulsory for you to break this oath and join up with your relatives. Keep making dua after every fardh namaaz. May Allah Ta`ala grant you a good life and a good ending.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
