The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: An oath or a vow about something over which a human being has no control, and to disobey Allah, and to break ties of relationship is not binding. If anyone takes an oath and then considers something else better than it, he should give it up, and do what is better, for leaving it is its atonement. Abu Dawud said: All sound traditions from the Prophet ﷺ say: "He should make atonement for his oath," except those versions which are not reliable. Abu Dawud said: I said to Ahmad: Yahya b. Sa'id (al-Qattan) has transmitted this tradition from Yahya b. 'Ubaid Allah. He (Ahmad b. Hanbal) said: But he gave it up after that, and he was competent for doing it. Ahmad said: His (Yahya b. 'Ubaid Allah's) tradition are munkar (rejected) and his father is not known.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ نَذْرَ وَلاَ يَمِينَ فِيمَا لاَ يَمْلِكُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلاَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ فِي قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ وَمَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَدَعْهَا وَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ فَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا كَفَّارَتُهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no vow or oath in what the son of Adam does not possess, nor in the disobedience of Allah, nor in cutting off ties of kinship. So whoever swears an oath by something, and then sees something better than it, then let him leave it and go for what is better, for indeed, abandoning it is its expiation."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا نَذْرَ وَلَا يَمِينَ فِيمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلَا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ ﷻ وَلَا قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ فَمَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَدَعْهَا وَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ فَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا كَفَّارَتُهَا  

"لا نَذْرَ وَلا يَمينَ فِيمَا لا يَمْلِكُ ابنُ آدَمَ، وَلا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ،

وَلا فِي قَطيعَةِ رَحِمٍ، وَمَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأى غَيرَهَا خَيرًا مِنْهَا فَليَدَعْهَا وَلْيَأتِ الَّذي هُوَ خَيرٌ، فَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا كَفَّارَتُهَا".
