Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person vows that whenever he commits a sin, he will give one hundred riyals in charity, does this carry the ruling of a vow or the ruling of an oath?
Answer:
This is an oath. He did not intend obedience; his intention was to restrain himself from that thing. This is treated as an oath, and he owes the expiation for an oath. Yes.
