The ruling on one who makes a vow and makes an exception
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.
The questioner : A question over the phone. Yes. Allah. This is with us on the line; the questioner says that she vowed that if Allah relieves her of this matter, she would fast every Monday or Thursday, but she made an exception, Honorable Shaykh, and said, "If there is an obstacle, I will pay an expiation." Her husband objected to this. What is required of this woman?
The Shaykh : She is required to pay the expiation she mentioned.
The presenter : Praise be to Allah. That means there is no problem, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Her husband preventing her is an excuse for not fulfilling the vow.
The presenter : That means there is no sin, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah reward you with good. You have heard the answer from the Shaykh. And we now have a call?
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
