Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 1021 — Actions in expiation of oaths
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ حَلَفَ بِيَمِينٍ فَوَكَّدَهَا، ثُمَّ حَنِثَ فَعَلَيْهِ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ كِسْوَةُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ، وَمَنْ حَلَفَ بِيَمِينٍ فَلَمْ يُؤَكِّدْهَا، ثُمَّ حَنِثَ فَعَلَيْهِ إِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ "
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: Whoever swears an oath and then firmly maintains it, then breaks the oath, must free a slave or feed ten needy people. And whoever swears an oath and does not firmly maintain it, then breaks the oath, must feed ten needy people, giving each needy person one mudd of wheat. If he is not able to do so, then he must fast for three days.
