After Breaking an Oath, Do I Need to Fast for Forgiveness?

Salam, everyone. I'm seeking some guidance. In a recent conversation, someone asked me about a past mistake I made. In that intense moment, I panicked and swore by Allah, saying 'Wallahi,' but then I lied to hide the truth. I deeply regret this. My question is: to seek Allah's forgiveness for this, is fasting for three days necessary? I want to make sincere repentance. JazakAllah khair for any advice.

Check Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 89. It explains the expiation. May Allah forgive us all.

I'm in a similar boat. Broke an oath last year. A scholar told me to fast 3 days as kaffarah. It's about sincerity though. Allah is Al-Ghafur.

Been there. The guilt is heavy, but the relief after fulfilling the kaffarah is real. May Allah make it easy for you.

Important to make sincere repentance first. The fast is the prescribed kaffarah. Don't stress, just do it with a clean heart.
