Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless your knowledge. The questioner asks: What is the form of a vow (nadhr) that, if made by a Muslim, makes it obligatory to fulfill it?
Answer:
As you know, if one vows to pray, or vows to give charity—saying, “I have a vow to Allah to pray two rak'ahs, to give so much in charity, or to slaughter an animal for Allah and give its meat in charity”—this is a vow. This is a vow of obedience. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
