What is the ruling if a person swears an oath not to sell their garment for ten units of currency, and then sells it for more than ten?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Expiations
Primary text
If a person swears an oath not to sell their garment for ten, and subsequently sells it for an amount exceeding ten, the oath is not broken (not Hanith). This ruling is derived from the explicit wording of the oath, which only forbids the sale at ten.
Supporting text
The position stemming from Al-Shafi'i's school suggests that the oath is not broken if the sale is for more than ten, because the seller's explicit words did not cover the higher amount.
