Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person says: When I find myself lazy about an act of obedience, I swear upon myself that I will perform that specific act of obedience. Is my action prescribed?
Answer:
No, do not bind yourself to a recommended act of worship. Do not bind yourself to it. You are binding yourself to something that Allah has not made obligatory upon you. No, yes.
