Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. This listener says: I made a vow three times, but they were spaced out according to specific circumstances, and I did not fulfill this vow. Please advise me on how to make expiation for my vow? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
First, vows are not encouraged. A person should do good without making a vow, and the door is open for whoever wants to do good without a vow. However, if one makes a vow of obedience, it is obligatory for him to carry it out and fulfill it, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 The questioner did not mention, or the questioner did not mention in her question, the type of this vow. She says it is a vow, but we do not know what this vow means or how it came about. Is it a conditional vow or an unconditional vow?
We do not know the nature of this vow. In general, fulfilling a vow after it is made, if it is a vow of obedience, is obligatory. Yes.
