The questioner:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is a vow made to other than Allah, some of which is major shirk and some of which is minor shirk?
The Shaykh:
A vow.
The questioner:
Yes, to other than Allah.
The Shaykh:
A vow to other than Allah is all major shirk, because it is an act of worship, so it is not permissible to make a vow to other than Allah, and there is no distinction in this matter. Yes.
