Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the vow among the causes for the answering of supplication? So I make a vow as an act of nearness to Allah so that He will answer my supplication?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Is the vow among the causes for the answering of supplication? So I make a vow as an act of nearness to Allah so that Allah will answer my supplication?
The Shaykh:
No. The vow is not among the causes for the answering of supplication, and therefore it is not recommended. The vow is not recommended, and supplication is a right or an obligation. You supplicate to Allah without making a vow. You supplicate to Allah, and Allah is near and answers. Yes.
