Arabic text

قَدْ فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ أَيْمَـٰنِكُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

Translation

Allaah has ordained (decreed) that you release yourselves from your oaths (such as this one and pay the relevant Kaffaara). Allaah is your Protecting Friend and He is the All Knowing, the Wise.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The expiation of oaths: that is, that Master, out of His knowledge and wisdom, has sent you suitable injunctions and guidance, one of which is that if a person swears an oath about something unbefitting, he can release himself from his oath by giving kaffarah (expiation) (which has been mentioned in Surah Al-Ma'idah).
