The ruling on one who vows to memorize a text and conditions it upon Allah’s will
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I said: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I made a vow with a person to memorize one of the scholarly texts, and when I made the vow I said, “if Allah wills,” but I was unable to fulfill the vow. Does anything become obligatory for me, even though I conditioned it upon His will? If he said “if Allah wills,” then he has not sworn an oath,
Answer:
and nothing is obligatory upon him.
