What is the ruling on one who made a vow and did not reach puberty
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. This questioner says: A girl vowed that if she succeeded every year, she would fast three days of every month. She is thirteen years old, and she succeeded but did not fulfill the vow. Does she have to pay an expiation?
The Shaykh : If she had not reached puberty when she made the vow, the vow is not binding on her because she is not of those for whom it is obligatory. If she had reached puberty, it is obligatory for her to fast, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). (peace and blessings be upon him).Sahih al-Bukhari 6696.
The questioner : On the verge of puberty, meaning she had not reached it yet and was on the verge of puberty.
The Shaykh : And this is not difficult for her, praise be to Allah. All right.

The Shaykh : And this is not difficult for her, praise be to Allah. All right.
