Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Please, Ghazi from Qassim, come on to the line. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Please tell us about the Shaykh, if you would be so kind. Yes, Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, my wife made a vow regarding her daughter. She was admitted to the hospital when she was five years old and was suffering from lupus. She is still being treated; she is now nineteen and is still undergoing treatment. She is also studying. My wife vowed to fast for a month and slaughter a camel for her.
The Shaykh:
What is his question?
The presenter:
And the question, my brother, is...
The questioner:
Here is the question. I say: My wife made a vow regarding her daughter. She was ill, five years old, and was admitted to the hospital, feeling unwell. She said, “If the girl is saved from this illness, I will fast for a month and slaughter a camel.” The girl came out of the hospital and is still taking her medication. She is now nineteen and suffering from lupus. My wife vowed to fast for a month and slaughter a camel. Does she have to fulfill this or not?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if she vowed that if the girl came out of the hospital, then once she came out, she must slaughter the camel and fast for the month.
The questioner:
Protection.
The Shaykh:
Be patient, my brother. However, if she vowed that if Allah healed her and she no longer needed treatment, and if Allah healed her completely, then she would slaughter a camel and fast for a month, in that case, she owes nothing until the condition is met, which is the complete healing of the girl. Yes.
The presenter:
Thank you, may Allah bless you.
