"مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِين فَقَال: إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، فهُوَ بالخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ مَضَى وَإِنْ شَاءَ ترَك".

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَرْءَ مُخَيَّرٌ عِنْدَ اسْتِثْنَائِهِ فِي الْيَمِينِ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ يَمِينَهُ، أَوْ يَمْضِيَ فِيهَا
The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone swears an oath and makes an exception, he may fulfil it if he wishes and break it if he wishes without any accountability for breaking. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3262)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ فَاسْتَثْنَى فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ مَضَى وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ غَيْرَ حَنِثٍ»
