What does the Qur'an say about expiation for a broken oath?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 5:89 God will not take you to task for that which is UNINTENTIONAL in your oaths, but He will take you to task for the oaths which ye swear in earnest. THE EXPIATION THEREOF IS THE FEEDING OF TEN OF THE NEEDY with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk, or the clothing of them, or the liberation of a slave. And for him who findeth not the wherewithal, THREE DAYS' FAST. In because it is the whole ruling in one verse: what is exempt, what is not, three alternative expiations, and a fallback for the poor.
  2. 02 2:225 God will not take you to task for that which is unintentional in your oaths, BUT HE WILL TAKE YOU TO TASK FOR THAT WHICH YOUR HEARTS HAVE GARNERED. In because it states the same exemption and locates liability in intention rather than in words.
  3. 03 2:224 AND MAKE NOT GOD, BY YOUR OATHS, A HINDRANCE TO YOUR BEING RIGHTEOUS and observing your duty unto Him and making peace among mankind. In because it is the most surprising verse in the set - it forbids using an oath as a reason not to do good.
  4. 04 16:91–92 Fulfil the covenant of God when ye have covenanted, and break not your oaths after the asseveration of them... and be not like her who unravelleth the thread, after she hath made it strong, to thin filaments. In as ONE PASSAGE because 16:92's image of a woman unpicking her own spinning is the text's own picture of oath-breaking. ALSO CARRIED by the study What does the Qur'an say about honesty and keeping your word?, with a different reason there.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The Qur'an gives a complete ruling here, which is rare, and 5:89 contains all of it.

First, an exemption: God does not take you to task for what is UNINTENTIONAL in your oaths - the careless by-God of ordinary speech. 2:225 says the same and locates liability in WHAT YOUR HEARTS HAVE GARNERED.

Second, the expiation for a deliberate oath broken, and it is a choice of three: feed ten needy people at the standard you feed your own family, or clothe them, or free one person from bondage. All four translators keep the standard - THE AVERAGE OF THAT WHEREWITH YE FEED YOUR OWN FOLK - which prevents the cheapest possible discharge.

Third, a fallback for someone who cannot afford any of the three: three days of fasting.

2:224 is the verse that changes the character of the whole subject. MAKE NOT GOD, BY YOUR OATHS, A HINDRANCE TO YOUR BEING RIGHTEOUS - or to keeping your duty, or to MAKING PEACE AMONG MANKIND. It anticipates a person who has sworn not to do something good and now feels bound. The verse tells them the oath is not a reason.

Read together, 2:224 and 5:89 say: an oath that stands in the way of doing right should be broken, and here is what it costs to break it.

16:91-92 gives the counterweight - keep what you have sworn - with the image of a woman unravelling thread she has just spun strong. Vows made to God are taken up by the study What does the Qur'an say about vows made to God - and what procedure does it not give? and are not answered here.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 5:89, widening across 4 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 4 passages, each with every cleared translation

4 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Talal Itani published 2012

God does not hold you accountable for your unintended oaths, but He holds you accountable for your binding oaths. The atonement for it is by feeding ten needy people from the average of what you feed your families, or by clothing them, or by freeing a slave. Anyone who lacks the means shall fast for three days. That is the atonement for breaking your oaths when you have sworn them. So keep your oaths. Thus God makes clear His Revelations to you, that you may be grateful.

Allah will not take you to task for that which is unintentional in your oaths, but He will take you to task for the oaths which ye swear in earnest. The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of the needy with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk, or the clothing of them, or the liberation of a slave, and for him who findeth not (the wherewithal to do so) then a three days' fast. This is the expiation of your oaths when ye have sworn; and keep your oaths. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations in order that ye may give thanks

Edward Henry Palmer published 1880

God will not catch you up for a casual word in your oaths, but He will catch you up for having what ye make deliberate oaths about; and the expiation thereof is to feed ten poor men with the middling food ye feed your families withal, or to clothe them, or to free a neck; but he who has not the means, then let him fast three days. That is the expiation of your oaths, when ye have sworn to keep your oaths; thus does God explain to you His signs, - haply ye may be grateful

John Medows Rodwell published 1861

God will not punish you for a mistaken word in your oaths: but he will punish you in regard to an oath taken seriously. Its expiation shall be to feed ten poor persons with such middling food as ye feed your own families with, or to clothe them; or to set free a captive. But he who cannot find means, shall fast three days. This is the expiation of your oaths when ye shall have sworn. Keep then your oaths. Thus God maketh his signs clear to you, that ye may give thanks

George Sale published 1734

God will not take you to task for such of your oaths as are vain, but He will take you to task for breaking the oaths which you take in earnest. The expiation thereof, then, is the feeding of ten poor persons with such average food as you feed your families with, or the clothing of them or the freeing of a slave. But whoso finds not the means shall fast for three days. That is the expiation of your oaths when you have sworn. And keep your oaths. Thus does God explain to you His Signs that you may be grateful

Allahu nuk ju merr në llogari për betimet që i bëni pa dashje, por ju merr në llogari për betimet e qëllimshme. Shlyerja (e gjynahut) për to[8] është të ushqeni dhjetë të varfër nga ushqimi mesatar me të cilin ushqeni familjet tuaja, ose t'i vishni ata, ose të lironi një rob. Ai që nuk ka mundësi, le të agjërojë tri ditë. Kjo është shlyerja për thyerjen e betimeve tuaja, nëse betoheni. Mirëpo, ruani betimet tuaja! Kështu Allahu jua sqaron ajetet e Tij, që të jeni mirënjohës.

তোমাদের অর্থহীন শপথের জন্যে আল্লাহ তোমাদেরকে পাকড়াও করবেন না; কিন্তু যে শপথ তোমরা জেনে বুঝে ইচ্ছাকৃতভাবে করো সে শপথের জন্যে তোমাদেরকে পাকড়াও করবেন। সুতরাং এর কাফফারা হলো: দশ জন মিসকীনকে মধ্যম ধরনের খাবার খাওয়ানো, যা তোমরা তোমাদের পরিবারকে খাইয়ে থাকো, অথবা তাদেরকে বস্ত্র দান করা, কিংবা একজন দাস-দাসী মুক্ত করা। অতঃপর যে সামর্থ্য রাখে না, তবে সে তিন দিন সিয়াম পালন করবে। তোমরা শপথ করলে এটাই তোমাদের শপথের কাফফারা। আর তোমরা তোমাদের শপথ রক্ষা করো। এমনিভাবে আল্লাহ তোমাদের জন্যে তাঁর আয়াতসমূহ সুস্পষ্টভাবে বর্ণনা করেছেন, যাতে তোমরা কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ করতে পারো।

Allah wird euch nicht für etwas Unbedachtes in euren Eiden belangen. Jedoch wird Er euch für das belangen, was ihr mit euren Eiden fest abmacht (und dann nicht einhaltet). Die Sühne dafür besteht (entweder) in der Speisung von zehn Bedürftigen in dem Maß, wie ihr eure Angehörigen im Durchschnitt speist, oder ihrer Bekleidung oder der Befreiung eines Sklaven. Wer nun keine (Möglichkeit) findet, (der hat) drei Tage (zu) fasten. Dies ist die Sühne für eure Eide, wenn ihr schwört. Und bewahrt eure Eide. Auf diese Weise macht Allah euch Seine Zeichen klar, sodass ihr dankbar sein möget!

Bu durumda yeminin keffareti, ailenize yedirdiğinizin orta hâllisinden on yoksulu doyurmak yahut onları giydirmek ya da bir köle azat etmektir. Kim (bu imkânı) bulamazsa, onun keffareti üç gün oruç tutmaktır. İşte yemin ettiğiniz vakit yeminlerinizin keffareti budur. Yeminlerinizi tutun.

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani2012 And they ask you about menstruation: say, "It is harmful, so keep away from women during menstruation. And do not approach them until they have become pure. Once they have become pure, approach them in the way God has directed you." God loves the repentant, and He loves those who keep clean."

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness

Edward Henry Palmer1880 They will ask thee about menstruation: say, 'It is a hurt.' So keep apart from women in their menstruation, and go not near them till they be cleansed; but when they are cleansed come in to them by where God has ordered you verily, God loves those who turn to Him, and those who keep themselves clean

John Medows Rodwell1861 They will also question thee as to the courses of women. SAY: They are a pollution. Separate yourselves therefore from women and approach them not, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath ordained for you. Verily God loveth those who turn to Him, and loveth those who seek to be clean

George Sale1734 They will ask thee also, concerning the courses of women: Answer, they are a pollution: Therefore separate your selves from women in their courses, and go not near them, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath commanded you, for God loveth those who repent, and loveth those who are clean

16:91 და მტკიცედ შეასრულეთ აღთქმა ალლაჰთან, როცა თქვენ (ჰეი, ადამიანებო) იგი დადეთ, და ნუ დაარღვევთ ფიცებს მას შემდეგ, რაც მათ დაადასტურებთ, ვინაიდან თქვენ ალლაჰი გაიხადეთ თქვენს ზედამხედველად. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰმა იცის, რასაც თქვენ აკეთებთ!

16:92 და (თქვენი აღთქმების დარღვევით) ნუ იქნებით იმ (გონებაშეზღუდულ) ქალივით, რომელმაც დაშალა [გახსნა] თავისი ძაფი მას შემდეგ, რაც ის მტკიცე ქსოვილად იყო შეკრული. აქცევდით რა თქვენს ფიცებს მოტყუებად ერთმანეთშორის, (როდესაც) ერთი ჯგუფი უფრო მრავალრიცხოვანია ვიდრე მეორე [როდესაც ეყრდნობიან თავიანთ სიმრავლეს]. ალლაჰი მხოლოდ გამოგცდით ამით [ბრძანებით, რომ დაიცვათ აღთქმები], და აუცილებლად განგიმარტავთ თქვენ აღდგომის დღეს იმას, რაზეც თქვენ სხვადასხვაგვარად ფიქრობდით.

16:91 Und haltet den Bund Allahs, wenn ihr einen Bund geschlossen habt, und brecht nicht die Eide nach ihrer Bekräftigung, wo ihr doch Allah zum Bürgen über euch gemacht habt. Wahrlich, Allah weiß, was ihr tut.

16:92 Und seid nicht wie jene, die ihr Garn, nachdem es fest gesponnen war, wieder in aufgelöste Strähnen bricht, indem ihr eure Eide untereinander als Mittel des Betrugs nehmt, weil eine Gemeinschaft zahlreicher ist als eine andere Gemeinschaft. Wahrlich, Allah prüft euch damit nur, und Er wird euch am Tag der Auferstehung ganz gewiss das deutlich machen, worüber ihr uneinig zu sein pflegtet.

16:91 Εκπληρώστε τη δέσμευση που δώσατε στο Όνομα του Αλλάχ όταν δεσμεύεστε, και μην αθετήσετε τους όρκους αφού τους επιβεβαιώσατε και καλέσατε τον Αλλάχ ως Μάρτυρα σε σας (ότι θα τους εκπληρώσετε). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ γνωρίζει όλα όσα κάνετε.

16:92 (Μην αθετήσετε τους όρκους σας για να) μην είστε σαν εκείνη (τη γυναίκα με ελαφρύ μυαλό στη Μάκκα) που ξέπλεκε την ύφανσή της σε κλωστές αφού την είχε πλέξει γερά. Παίρνετε τους όρκους σας ως μέσο εξαπάτησης μεταξύ σας, (και τους αθετείτε) όταν βλέπετε ένα έθνος (ή μία ομάδα) πιο μεγάλη σε αριθμό (και δύναμη) από το άλλο έθνος (που του δώσατε όρκο για συμμαχία κλπ.). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ σας δοκιμάζει μ' αυτό (αν θα εκπληρώσετε τους όρκους ή όχι), και πράγματι, την Ημέρα της Ανάστασης, θα διασαφηνίσει σε σας αυτά στα οποία διαφωνούσατε μεταξύ σας.

16:91 और अल्लाह की प्रतिज्ञा को पूरा करो, जब तुम परस्पर प्रतिज्ञा करो। तथा क़समों को उन्हें सुदृढ़ करने के पश्चात् मत तोड़ो, हालाँकि निश्चय तुमने अल्लाह को अपने आपपर ज़ामिन (गवाह) बनाया है। निःसंदेह अल्लाह जानता है, जो कुछ तुम करते हो।

16:92 और उस स्त्री की तरह न बन जाओ, जिसने अपना सूत मज़बूत कातने के बाद उधेड़ दिया। तुम अपनी क़समों को परस्पर धोखा देने का माध्यम बनाते हो, ताकि एक समुदाय दूसरे समुदाय से अधिक हो जाए। अल्लाह इसके[41] द्वारा तुम्हारी परीक्षा लेता है। और निश्चय क़ियामत के दिन वह तुम्हारे लिए उसे अवश्य स्पष्ट कर देगा, जिसमें तुम मतभेद किया करते थे।

16:91 E rispettate il patto con Allāh, se lo stringete, e non mancate mai ai giuramenti dopo averli fatti, e avete preso Allāh come vostro testimone, e in verità Allāh conosce ciò che fate.

16:92 E non siate come quella che sfilava la sua lana dalla cocca, dopo averla filata accuratamente: prendete i vostri giuramenti come un inganno, per far prevalere una comunità su un’altra! In verità Allāh vi mette, con questo, alla prova, e vi chiarisce, nel Giorno del Giudizio, riguardo ciò su cui siete discordi.

16:91 91. Ir pildykite Allaho Sutartį (Baja – pasižadėjimą islamui), kai įsipareigojote, ir nelaužykite priesaikų po to, kai jas patvirtinote – ir iš tiesų, jūs paskyrėte Allahą savo laiduotoju. Iš tiesų, Allahas žino, ką jūs darote.

16:92 92. Ir nebūkite kaip ta, kuri išvynioja siūlą, kurį ji suverpė, po to, kai jis tapo stiprus, duodami priesaikas kaip apgaulę tarp savęs, tam kad tauta nebūtų gausesnė nei kita tauta. Allahas tik išbando jus tuo [t. y. tuos, kurie paklūsta Allahui ir pildo Allaho Sutartį, bei tuos, kurie nepaklūsta Allahui ir nutraukia Allaho Sutartį]. Ir Prikėlimo Dieną, Jis be abejonės išaiškins tai, dėl ko jūs ginčijotės [t. y. tikintysis išpažįsta ir tiki Allaho Vienumą ir Pranašo Muchammedo ﷺ Pranašavimą, kai netikintysis tai neigia ir tai yra jų skirtumas šio pasaulio gyvenime].

16:92 И не будьте подобны той, которая распустила свою пряжу на отдельные нити после того, как крепко спряла её: вы делаете свои клятвы средством обмана между собой из-за того, что одна община многочисленнее другой. Воистину, Аллах лишь испытывает вас этим, и непременно разъяснит вам в День воскресения то, в чём вы пребывали в разногласиях.

16:92 И не будите као она која би своју плетеницу распрела кад би је већ била чврсто уплела, и не служите се заклетвама својим да бисте једни друге преварили само зато што је једно племе многобројније од другог.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 5:89, 2:225, 2:224, 16:91-92, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - expiation + thereof + is + the + feeding; unintentional + in + your + oaths; keep + your + oaths; god + will + not + take + you + to + task + for + that + which + is + unintentional. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
