Question:
He asks a number of questions, one of which is: I have many vows, and I have delayed some of them for a long time without excuse. Is there a sin on me for that? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory to fulfill a vow of obedience if these are vows of obedience. It is obligatory to fulfill them, even if they are numerous, because of the saying of the Exalted and Majestic:[Al-Insan 76:7], and because of His saying: "And let them fulfill their vows." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Riyad as-Salihin 1862. So fulfilling a vow, if it is a vow of obedience, is obligatory, even if they are numerous and he is able to fulfill them, for he must do so, because they have become a debt in his liability, obligatory to Allah the Glorious and Exalted. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Discharge the rights of Allah, for Allah has the most right to be discharged." It was reported in a hadith that , and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described them with blameworthy descriptions, among which is that they make vows and do not fulfill them. Yes.

Answer:
It is obligatory to fulfill a vow of obedience if these are vows of obedience. It is obligatory to fulfill them, even if they are numerous, because of the saying of the Exalted and Majestic:
They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.
يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًاThe Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who vows to obey Allah, should obey Him. But he who vows to disobey Allah, should not disobey Him."
صلى الله عليه وسلم من نذر أن يطيع الله فليطعه، ومن نذر أن يعصي الله فلا يعصه،A group in the end times
