Assalamu alaikum I was planning to bake a specific dessert with my nephew but he was being insolent/silly and talking over me. I became stressed and angry and said something like "wallahi you're not going to make it!" I immediately regretted what I said as I don't normally say wallahi, let alone for trivial matters. As I wasn't specific in my wording does that mean he can make that particular dessert another day (as my intention was that our planned baking activity was no longer going ahead that day)? or maybe because I wasn't specific I'm worried he can't make it indefinitely, forever. If he does make it, do I have to find 10 poor people to feed 2 meals to?



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In principle, uttering oath in anger will occur. In the case scenario, your nephew can bake something on another day.

And Allah knows best
