Question

If someone said "I promise I won't repeat this namaaz again or break it, Ya Allah please help me" then they repeated the namaz they didn't have any specific niyyat when saying Ya Allah but they were aware they were saying Allahs name. Do they have to give kaffarah?

Answer

There is no kaffarah, but he should make taubah for breaking his promise.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
