89
لا يُؤاخِذُكُمُ اللَّهُ بِاللَّغوِ في أَيمانِكُم وَلٰكِن يُؤاخِذُكُم بِما عَقَّدتُمُ الأَيمانَ ۖ فَكَفّارَتُهُ إِطعامُ عَشَرَةِ مَساكينَ مِن أَوسَطِ ما تُطعِمونَ أَهليكُم أَو كِسوَتُهُم أَو تَحريرُ رَقَبَةٍ ۖ فَمَن لَم يَجِد فَصِيامُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيّامٍ ۚ ذٰلِكَ كَفّارَةُ أَيمانِكُم إِذا حَلَفتُم ۚ وَاحفَظوا أَيمانَكُم ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُم آياتِهِ لَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ

Muhammad Ali

Allah will not call you to account for that which is vain in your oaths, but He will call you to account for the making of deliberate oaths; so its expiation is the feeding of ten poor men with the average (food) you feed your families with, or their clothing, or the freeing of a neck. But whoso finds not (means) should fast for three days. This is the expiation of your oaths when you swear. And keep your oaths. Thus does Allah make clear to you his messages that you may give thanks.
