I made a covenant between myself and Allah that if He heals me, I will fast six days. Do I have to fast these days, knowing that I did not swear an oath?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. You say that you made a covenant between yourself and Allah that if your Lord heals you from the illness you were suffering from—and you are still suffering from it, though to a lesser extent—you will fast six days. What should you do? Do you have to fast these days, knowing that you did not swear an oath?
Answer:
If Allah heals you, it is obligatory for you to fulfill the vow, because this is a conditional vow. So if the healing occurs, it is obligatory for you to fulfill this vow.
