Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He began to make a vow to Allah that if he succeeded in school, he would fast. Allah granted him success, but he does not remember the details. This was more than ten years ago, and he has been blessed with children from that time. So he is uncertain whether it was one day, two days, or more, and there is no indication of the exact number.
Answer:
He should exercise caution. If he is uncertain whether it was one day, two days, or ten days, he should make it the maximum, which is ten days. If he does not know, he should use his best judgment to estimate and fast accordingly.
