Al-Ma'idah 5:89 لا يواخذكم الله باللغو في ايمانكم ولاكن يواخذكم بما عقدتم الايمان فكفارته اطعام عشرة مساكين من اوسط ما تطعمون اهليكم او كسوتهم او تحرير رقبة فمن لم يجد فصيام ثلاثة ايام ذالك كفارة ايمانكم اذا حلفتم واحفظوا ايمانكم كذالك يبين الله لكم اياته لعلكم تشكرون ٨٩

ٱللَّهُ
بِٱللَّغۡوِ
فِيٓ
أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ
وَلَٰكِن
يُؤَاخِذُكُم
بِمَا
عَقَّدتُّمُ
ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَۖ
فَكَفَّٰرَتُهُۥٓ
إِطۡعَامُ
عَشَرَةِ
مَسَٰكِينَ

أَوۡسَطِ
مَا
تُطۡعِمُونَ
أَهۡلِيكُمۡ
أَوۡ
كِسۡوَتُهُمۡ
أَوۡ
تَحۡرِيرُ
رَقَبَةٖۖ
فَمَن
لَّمۡ
يَجِدۡ
فَصِيَامُ
ثَلَٰثَةِ
أَيَّامٖۚ
ذَٰلِكَ
كَفَّٰرَةُ
أَيۡمَٰنِكُمۡ
إِذَا
حَلَفۡتُمۡۚ
وَٱحۡفَظُوٓاْ
أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡۚ
كَذَٰلِكَ
يُبَيِّنُ
ٱللَّهُ
لَكُمۡ
ءَايَٰتِهِۦ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تَشۡكُرُونَ

Allah does not take you to task for the oaths you utter vainly, but He will certainly take you to task for the oaths you have sworn in earnest. The expiation (for breaking such oaths) is either to feed ten needy persons with more or less the same food as you are wont to give to your families, or to clothe them, or to set free from bondage the neck of one man; and he who does not find the means shall fast for three days. This shall be the expiation for your oaths whenever you have sworn (and broken them.)1 But do keep your oaths.2 Thus does Allah make clear to you His commandments; maybe you will be grateful.

Chapter 5, Page 122, Juz 7

87. Believers! Do not hold as unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful to you, and do not exceed the bounds of right. Allah does not love those who transgress the bounds of right. 88. And partake of the lawful, good things which Allah has provided you as sustenance, and refrain from disobeying Allah in Whom you believe. 89. Allah does not take you to task for the oaths you utter vainly, but He will certainly take you to task for the oaths you have sworn in earnest. The expiation (for breaking such oaths) is either to feed ten needy persons with more or less the same food as you are wont to give to your families, or to clothe them, or to set free from bondage the neck of one man; and he who does not find the means shall fast for three days. This shall be the expiation for your oaths whenever you have sworn (and broken them.) But do keep your oaths. Thus does Allah make clear to you His commandments; maybe you will be grateful.
