Broken Promises

As I previously written on my previous post about promises (here), here’s the law in Islam how do we need to pay our broken promises or oath:

Allah will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless in your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for [breaking] what you intended of oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people from the average of that which you feed your [own] families or clothing them or the freeing of a slave. But whoever cannot find [or afford it] – then a fast of three days [is required]. That is the expiation for oaths when you have sworn. But guard your oaths. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be grateful.(QS Al-Maidah: 89)

So? We know what to do. 🙂
