Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The second question is from our female listener, who says: My husband made a vow that if I gave birth to a child while I was pregnant, he would slaughter a sacrificial animal. The fetus’s heartbeat stopped, and I was in the end of the third month, and a miscarriage occurred. What is required of him?
The Shaykh:
The intended outcome did not occur.
The questioner:
Yes, so he is not required to fulfill his vow?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the intended outcome did not occur for him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh
