The ruling on forbidding permissible things upon oneself in imitation of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance

Question:
The Shaykh’s issue, may Allah preserve you, is: If a person looks at something and does not understand it, is that painful for his family? Is it imitating the actions of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and is this broadcasting that we do not understand the word, for example, imitating the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance? And is this a lie, because the benefit of prohibition is intended to be removed?

Answer:
Yes, if he prohibits riding for himself, this has a resemblance to the prohibition of the lawful in the religion of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. The scholars differed on whether a person who vows to perform Hajj on foot as an act of worship for Allah the Exalted is required to fulfill this vow? He is not required to do so; rather, he should ride and expiate for his vow, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) issued a ruling for a woman who vowed to perform Hajj on foot, and similarly he issued a ruling for a man who vowed to perform Hajj on foot, ruling that he should ride and expiate for his vow with the expiation of an oath.
