قَالَ مَالِك : وَعَقْدُ الْيَمِينِ أَنْ يَحْلِفَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ لَا يَبِيعَ ثَوْبَهُ بِعَشَرَةِ دَنَانِيرَ، ثُمَّ يَبِيعَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَوْ يَحْلِفَ لَيَضْرِبَنَّ غُلَامَهُ، ثُمَّ لَا يَضْرِبُهُ وَنَحْوَ هَذَا فَهَذَا الَّذِي يُكَفِّرُ صَاحِبُهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلَيْسَ فِي اللَّغْوِ كَفَّارَةٌ
The second is the "binding oath," which is sworn regarding doing or not doing something in the future. For example, one says: "By Allah, I will not sell my garment for ten dinars," then he sells it; or "By Allah, I will beat his slave," then he does not beat him. Expiation becomes obligatory for this oath.
