What is the ruling if a person swears an oath not to eat 'qut' (staple food) and then eats bread, dates, raisins, meat, or milk?

Primary text

The oath is broken (the person incurs the consequence of breaking the oath) if bread, dates, raisins, meat, or milk are consumed. This is because each of these items is considered a staple food (*qut*) in some regions. Furthermore, eating grain whose bread is eaten incurs the consequence, as the grain itself is termed *qut*. This is supported by the report that the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to save staple food for his family for a year, and what was saved was the grain.
