Fulfilling the vow to stand in prayer for a full night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I had a problem, so I said, “O Allah, I have a covenant with You: if You save me from it, I will stand in prayer for a full night.” Should I stand in prayer this night, or is it permissible to read from books of knowledge, seek forgiveness, make supplication, and glorify Allah?

Answer:
Prayer is worship and obedience. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever vows that he will be obedient to Allah, should remain obedient to Himمن نذر أن يطيع الله فليطعه
Sahih al-Bukhari 6696
. Therefore, you must fulfill the vow, provided that the condition upon which it was contingent has occurred. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
