Question:
We have with us our brother Abu Sa'd from Abha. Please, my brother Abu Sa'd. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, I made a vow, the text of the vow being, Shaykh, that if I am late for the congregational prayer, I will pray ten rak'ahs as a sunnah.
Answer:
This, my brother, is considered a matter of an oath; it is treated as an oath. You expiate it with the expiation for an oath, and that is sufficient. However, strive to attend the congregational prayer, and take the measures that help you to attend the congregational prayer. There is no need for the vow. Yes.
