One Who Vowed to Fast for a Year, Then Was Healed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man was ill, so he vowed to fast for a year if Allah healed him. Allah has granted him healing, and praise be to Allah. His question is: What is obligatory for me now, since fasting a full year is difficult?
Answer:
He does not fast; he must fast the full year. If he is unable to complete the year and fasts it in separate days, he owes the expiation for a broken oath, as it appears to me.
