كَفَّارَةexpiation in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَأَحْلِفُ أَنَا عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَمِينًا لَا كَفَّارَةٌ لَهَا

  So I swear by that an oath that has no expiation for it.

  كَفَّارَة — expiation. The noun whose existence the 'no...' just denied, naming the religious release the oath would normally allow. Standing under that category-negation, it is declared simply not to be.
