Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. A man made a vow of obedience, and he was a disbeliever, then he embraced Islam. Is he required to fulfill the vow?
Answer:
Yes. 'Umar made a vow during the pre-Islamic age of ignorance to perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) for one night in the Sacred Mosque. He sought a ruling from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he told him, "Fulfill your vow." If one makes a vow while a disbeliever and then embraces Islam, it is obligatory for him to fulfill it.
