Combining the dislike of a vow with it being an act of worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the fact that a vow is disliked with the fact that it is an act of worship, when acts of worship are beloved to Him?
Answer:
It becomes an act of worship after one makes the vow. Before the vow, it is a mahr (bridal gift). So it is an act of worship, but it is disliked. In fact, some scholars say it is a mahr before the vow. Once the vow is made, it becomes an act of worship. It only becomes an act of worship after the vow.
