Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh, a sister questioner says: I vowed to pray one thousand rak'ahs if something happened that would make me happy, and that thing did happen. Is it permissible for her to make up some of the rak'ahs during the prohibited time between 'Asr and Maghrib? And what is your opinion regarding vows?
Answer:
She is required to fulfill this vow. It was not befitting for her to make this vow because it is burdensome, but since she made it, and it is a vow of obedience, she is obligated to fulfill it. She should not perform it during the prohibited times, meaning that prayer is prohibited during those times, so she should not include them in her vow. She should perform it during the times when prayer is not prohibited.
