The second question of Fatwa No. ( 14737 )
Q 2: Your Eminence, it happened that I said to my uncle, my father's brother: "By Allah, if you buy 'Amarah, I will slaughter a young bull" . This was three years ago, and it came to pass that he bought 'Amarah. So, is the vow upon me, or what should I do? My financial situation is now such that I cannot afford it. What is the solution other than fasting, if there is fasting involved? And what is the solution if my uncle grants me permission?
A 2: It is obligatory for you to fulfill the vow; because of the saying of Allah the Exalted: , and because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 2126Sahih (Darussalam) .
The vow is a right for Allah that you have made obligatory upon yourself, so your uncle does not have the authority to grant you permission to abandon it, and it remains a debt upon you until you fulfill it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
