Oaths & Vows

Q: Sometime back I took an oath never to step into my in laws home again. My husband keeps asking me to go with him. When I remind him, he doesn't go either. What should I do?

Q:

1. If I make a promise and say insha Allah after it, would I have to pay kaffarah if I break that promise? For example, if I say I promise not to eat a chocolate for three days insha Allah and end up eating the chocolate would I have to pay kaffarah for breaking that promise?

2. If I have to pay kaffarah, how much do I have to pay?

3. If I have to pay the kaffarah and I made a few other promises just like that and they're all broken, do I have to pay separately for each, or once for all of them?

Q: Husband says to wife, “If you ever again say to me ‘this is your fault/this is my fault’, then Allah’s qasam I will switch off my phone and will never open it again.” If wife ever utters those statements in future and the oath breaks, will the husband have to pay kaffarah or what will he have to do? Since it is not possible to switch off the mobile forever.

Q: If someone said "I promise I won't repeat this namaaz again or break it, Ya Allah please help me" then they repeated the namaz they didn't have any specific niyyat when saying Ya Allah but they were aware they were saying Allahs name. Do they have to give kaffarah?

Q: I have taken false oaths on the Quraan in my childhood in an irresponsible way. I was not mature that time.

Q: If a person makes a promise to himself that In Sha Allah I will not do that particular sin (masturbation) and if I do this sin again, I will perform 13 fasts + 60 nafal salaah and 20000 sadaqa in a month.

Now, if that person committed the sin (masturbation) again and again and he also broke the promise or wants to break the promise since looks impossible to fulfill, what is the way forward.

Q: I promised Allah not to commit a sin and if I commit that sin I will fast for 30 days. I have broken that promise now what to do?

Q: If I do not have an income, but I have around R3000 saved up, will it be permissible for me to give kaffaarah for broken vows in the form of three days fasting or is it necessary to give the kaffaarah (several kaffaarah, around +/- 10) in money form? 

Q: One day my wife made a vow to Allah that she will never use Facebook in the future. Her sister uses facebook and always has automatic login into facebook on her mobile. When my  wife uses her sisters mobile, mistakenly she opened the facebook app and automatic logged into her sisters facebook account or profile. She saw her sisters Facebook profile picture etc. but she didn't use Facebook, she just saw it.

Q: A couple of days back I asked a question and you responded to it but I don’t understand what the answer means. Also I have a couple more doubts with respect to the question I asked. I’ll repost the question and your response for reference.

Questions

Once I was scared I was pregnant (even though I haven’t committed major zina) and after my salah while making dua I said ‘please don’t let me be pregnant Allah. Please help me and keep me from this. If I am kept from this I will not do a particular sin again’ I was making dua and I wasn’t trying to make an oath or a vow of any sort. I was just talking to Allah and telling Him I’m sorry for my mistakes. Please tell me if this would qualify as a vow or an oath?

Alhumdulillah I was saved from the calamity but I have continued to commit that sin I said I wouldn’t. So please tell me what to do and whether what I said qualifies as a vow or oath.

Your response

If you made a verbal promise to Allah Ta'ala, then this constitutes an oath. You should sincerely repent for the sin you committed and refrain from it in the future.

Query

Here you said that it qualifies as an oath. But I didn’t make an oath to or swear by, I made a promise to. So how does it become an oath?

Also, if it is an oath and it has been broken, do I need to do kaffarah?

Also, does refraining from a certain act fall under doing an act of worship?

Also, I don’t remember if I made any kind of vow or oath or promise and if I did, I don’t remember what it was. What should I do?

Also, the sin I was speaking about was zina, if I get married to the person, can we or can we not have sexual relations?
