Kaffarah for breaking an oath
Question
If some swears by saying "I swear I would not swear throughout my life after today". Suppose he swears more than once after this in the coming days. Will he have to pay kaffara one time or multiple times?
Answer
In this situation, only one kaffaarah will be compulsory upon him for breaking the oath.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
