Kaffaarah for breaking a vow
Q:
1 .I made a vow for not watching explicit things but I can't remember if I said it out loud with Allah's name. Maybe I did. I remember thinking "if this happens then I'll never do this"I was not aware of the ruling of vows at the time.
2. I also made several promises to Allah about not watching those things and I ended up watching those thing once or twice Astaghfirullah. Do I have to expiate separately for this or does doing it once complete as they are both about not doing the same act.
3. In all the promises and vow I specifically said about not watching pornography but in the recent promise I also said about not watching anything sexual. Yesterday I ended up watching a music video that was of a sexual nature for like 5 seconds before remembering the promise and turning the video off. Does this break the promise and is this promise considered a separate type of promise requiring separate expiation?
A:
1. Fulfil your vow.
2. You should expiate for this as well for every vow that was violated.
3. Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
