Q: If one makes a promise by accident or something they don't want to say comes out of their mouth as a promise to Allah, does the promise have any effect? If a married woman says Allah, I promise not to have sex with anyone and thinks she also included her husband in this, has she promised not to have sex with her husband and will she be sinful to have sex with her husband?

What if a woman explicitly promises not to have sex with her husband by mentioning her husband in the promise. Will she be not allowed to have sex with her husband and will she be sinful for having sex with her husband?

Q: I broke my oath. I know that I have to give the kaffaarah and I have the means. But I can't find any poor Muslims around me and I hardly know who to give it to. And also I can't just go out to find 10 people to give it to. Can I just keep three fasts instead?
