The Book of Oaths

كتاب الأيمان

(3) Chapter: It is recommended for the one who swears an oath then sees that something else is better than it; To do that which is better and offer expiation for his oath

باب نَدْبِ مَنْ حَلَفَ يَمِينًا فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَيُكَفِّرَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

He who took an oath and (later on) found another thing better than that, he should do that which is better, and expiate for the vow (broken by him).
