What is the ruling on one who, whenever he wants something from the matters of this world, vows to pray two rak'ahs before it is realized?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. He says: Honorable Shaykh, whenever I want something from the matters of this world, or a calamity befalls me, I vow to Allah to pray two rak'ahs before this matter is realized, whether it is realized or not. Is there anything wrong with this action? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) , so making a vow is not recommended; rather, it is disliked. This is because a person burdens himself with what Allah has not burdened him with, and it may become difficult for him to fulfill the vow, becoming a heavy burden on him thereafter. Therefore, a person should not make a vow. However, if he does make a vow, he is obligated to fulfill a vow of obedience. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah the Exalted described the righteous as those who fulfill their vows, saying: "And let them fulfill their vows." He said: If a Muslim makes a vow, he is obligated to fulfill it, provided it is a vow of obedience. This includes a vow to pray; if he vows to pray, this is a vow of obedience, and he is obligated to fulfill it. If this vow is conditional on something, then when the condition is met, he is obligated to fulfill the vow. For example, if he says, "If Allah heals me from this illness, I promise Allah that I will pray two rak'ahs or more," and then Allah heals him, he is obligated to fulfill the vow he made. However, as we mentioned, a Muslim should perform acts of obedience without making a vow, drawing near to Allah through obligatory duties, voluntary acts, and other good deeds without a vow. Yes.
