Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, the second question, which is about a relative who made a vow.
The Shaykh : She says: Honorable Shaykh, a relative of hers made a vow that she would give charity to Chechnya, but she is unable to do so now. What is required of her? She says: A relative of hers vowed to give charity to Chechnya, but she is unable to do so now.
The questioner : She should wait until she is able.
The Shaykh : She waits until she receives it.
The questioner : A characteristic.
The Shaykh : Exactly.
The questioner : I advise this woman.
The Shaykh : Yes, Shaykh.
The questioner : and others. They should not make vows, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : heard about vows and said that they do not bring good. And he spoke the truth (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : And how many people have made vows and regretted them with great regret. Vowing is disliked, and sometimes it is forbidden. Beware of vows, beware of vows, beware of vows.
