12,314An oath does not become binding by merely intending it
Uncertainty as to whether an oath was sworn in the first place – such as being uncertain as to whether the oath was sworn, or whether it was sworn and broken – in this case, nothing is required of the one who is uncertain, because the basic principle [and what is certain] is that one is under no obligation, and certainty cannot be dispelled by uncertainty. An oath does not become binding merely by thinking about it; rather it is essential that it be spoken out loud.11,051The one who fulfils a vow (nadhr) to do an act of worship will be rewarded for doing that act of worship and for fulfilling that vow

6,071What is required of one who swore to do something at a specific time, but did not do it at that time?
4,968He died owing expiation for breaking an oath
8,586In the case of expiation for breaking an oath (kafarat al-yameen), is it acceptable to give a food basket or a “Ramadan bag”?
12,899She made an oath dependent on some matter, and that matter is no longer an issue; what is the ruling?
