Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is a vow made to other than Allah always considered shirk?
Answer:
A vow is an act of worship. The vow is to obey Allah, so let him obey Him. The vow is an act of worship. Allah praised those who fulfill their vows because they fulfill them, and He commanded, saying, "Let them fulfill their vows." So it is an act of worship. Whoever makes a vow to graves, whoever makes a vow to shrines, whoever makes a vow to other than Allah has committed shirk, because this is a type of worship, just like slaughtering for other than Allah.
