The questioner:
Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. May I ask a question to the Shaykh’s friend? Please, a brief question if you don’t mind. Insha'Allah, Honorable Shaykh, I made a vow to fast, but I don’t remember how many days I fasted, or rather, I don’t remember how many days I vowed to fast, so I don’t know what is required of me. Okay, thank you.
The Shaykh:
What did you vow?
The questioner:
My problem is, I looked, I looked, Shaykh. What did you say in the vow? I swear to you, Shaykh, I said, “If this thing happens, I will fast so much,” but I don’t remember how many times I vowed or which days I vowed to fast.
The Shaykh:
You should fast, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 and since you have fulfilled the condition upon which you made the vow, it is obligatory for you.
The questioner:
O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Welcome, O Ahd. Good. It is obligatory for you to fulfill the vow, and you should estimate the number of days.
The questioner:
I mean, I fast, I fast, say, ten days, I estimate it, or a month, for example.
The Shaykh:
Estimate it and fast. May Allah grant you well-being. Thank you.
