Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who breaks a vow, and this breaking of the vow has occurred repeatedly? Does he owe an expiation for each instance of this single matter?
Answer:
We do not know what the vow is; it must be clarified what the vow is and what its wording is. Yes, the vow that is obligatory to fulfill: if it is a vow of obedience, it is obligatory to fulfill it. A vow to obey Allah—rather, to obey Him. A vow to give charity, he must give charity. A vow to pray, he must pray. A vow to perform Hajj, he must perform Hajj by virtue of the vow. Yes.
