After things settled down the older brother was really emotional and angry and he swore to never visit his family again as long as the little brother lives there. Now the older brother regrets his oath, and he read that sometimes an oath is not valid if a person is really emotional and isn’t aware of what he‘s saying. He wanted to ask: Is his oath valid? If so, is it better to break it or to uphold it?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"If he said, \\\"I swear by Allah,\\\" it is considered a valid oath regardless of his emotions at the time. Since the oath involves committing something haram (not visiting family), he must break the oath and perform expiation (kaffara). This expiation entails either feeding or clothing ten needy people. If he is unable to do this, he may fast for three days, which do not need to be consecutive.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff20b76658b4c2329f4","tag":"Worship: Repentance","count":63},{"_id":"668d9fff0b76658b4c232b60","tag":"Worship: Other","count":54},{"_id":"668da0830b76658b4c23393f","tag":"Relationships: Sibling","count":29}],"createdOn":"2025-05-06T01:32:24.893Z"}
