Question:
Also, she vowed while she was ill and pregnant in her third month that if she gave birth to a son, she would fast every Thursday. But her father prevents her from fasting, and she is not pleased with this. What is required of her?
Answer:
It is not permissible for anyone to prevent a Muslim from fulfilling a vow of obedience. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone to prevent the one who made the vow from fulfilling his vow of obedience, because it is obligatory upon him and a duty he must perform. Just as he does not prevent her from prayer or fasting Ramadan, he does not prevent her from fulfilling a vow of obedience either. Yes.

من نذر أن يطيع الله فليطعه.
