Oaths taken during anger, compulsion or coercion are void, and one is not required to pay for expiation (Kufarah) for not fulfilling those oaths. عن ربعي، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: الله عفى عن امتي ثلاثا: الخطاء، والنسيان، والاستكراه. From Rabie, ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Allah -azwj Pardoned three (things) from my -saww community – the mistake, and the forgetfulness, and the being coerced’.

وقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: وفيها رابعة: وما لا يطيقون. And Abdullah -asws said: ‘And in it is a fourth, ‘What they cannot endure’’. [1] ين: عن أبي الحسن قال: سألته عن الرجل يستكره على اليمين فيحلف بالطلاق والعتاق وصدقة ما يملك، أيلزمه ذلك ؟ فقال: لا.

From Abu Al-Hassan -asws , he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him -asws about the man coerced upon the oath, so he swears with the divorce, and the freeing (a slave), and (giving in) charity what he owns, would that be necessitate on him?’ He -asws said: ‘No’.

ثم قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: وضع عن امتي ما اكرهوا عليه، وما لم يطيقوا، وما أخطؤوا Then he -asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘It has been dropped from my -saww community, what they have been coerced upon, and what they cannot endure, and what they are mistaken with’’.

[2] The difference between compulsion and coercion: مع، معاني الأخبار مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنِ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ لَا يَمِينَ فِي غَضَبٍ وَ لَا فِي إِجْبَارٍ وَ لَا فِي إِكْرَاهٍ (The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbaar’ – Majaylawiya, from his paternal uncle from Al Kufi, from Musa Bin Sa’dan, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘There is neither an oath during anger, nor under compulsion, nor in coercion ’.
