Summary
The expiation is repeated according to the repetition of the oath. If a person swears not to enter a house and then breaks the oath, one kaffarah is due, and further entries without renewing the oath add no more kaffarah. If he swears again after breaking it and then breaks it once more, two kaffarah are due.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, jika seseorang bersumpah tidak memasuki sebuah rumah lalu dia melanggar sumpahnya, maka kaffarahnya ialah sekali.
