Swearing a man will take some money from him and giving the money to his wife when he refused

Q 2: I swore by Allah to give someone a sum of money but then when he refused to take it, I gave it to his wife and she accepted it. My oath was as follows: "By Allah, you should take this." What is the ruling on this? (Part No. 23; Page No. 98


A 2: If the case is as you mentioned, you must offer Kaffarah (expiation) for breaking your oath, for it was the woman who accepted the money, not her husband, while your oath was that the man would accept it. The Kaffarah is to emancipate a believing bondsman, feed ten needy persons or clothe them. If you cannot do any of these things, you are to fast for three days.May Allah grant us success. May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
