If I take an oath to do something but later realize it is wrong, is it required for me to observe a 3-day fast as expiation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you took an oath to do something which you know that it is wrong or you discovered later that it is wrong, then such oath itself is invalid. You don't need then to feed ten poor persons or clothe them or fast three days as expiation.
