Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says that he vowed to fast on Thursday, but he did not fast. Is there anything required of him? And what is the ruling on making many vows?
Answer:
He must make up the day he vowed to fast but did not fast. He should not make such vows; in fact, it is disliked to enter into them because it puts a person in a difficult position. However, if he does make a vow of obedience, he is obligated to fulfill it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6696. Yes.
