Question:
I vowed for the sake of Allah the Exalted that if He relieves me of a distress, I will pray seven rak'ahs every day until I die. Is there any issue with this? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good. How can I perform this prayer?
Answer:
This is a vow of obedience, and it is obligatory to fulfill it if the condition upon which it is contingent is met, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 If you vowed it for the night, it becomes the night prayer, consisting of seven rak'ahs, meaning the witr. The seventh rak'ah is the witr, and the rak'ahs before it are prayed in pairs. So you pray six rak'ahs with three taslims, then you stand for the seventh and make it the witr of your prayer. As for if this vow is for the day, there is no witr in the day, but you make it eight rak'ahs, with every two rak'ahs having a taslim. Yes.
