Tafsir
When people make a transaction or a covenant with one another, they swear by Allah. So when people swear by Allah and take Allah as a witness between them, let them fulfill their oaths. Let them be true to their word.
And do not break your oaths with unreasonable things while Allah is a witness between them, and be faithful to your promises.
There is only one way to break a vow. You have sworn for something that will not happen. Or what you have sworn will manifest against people. In order to turn it into good, you can break your vow. In return, you can give alimony for the sake of Allah that will provide a poor person with a daily ration. Therefore, Allah is well aware of people's intentions and what they will do.
