The ruling on one who is unable to fulfill a vow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, in this lesson, we ask, Honorable Shaykh: What about those who make vows and are unable to fulfill them? Is the vow dropped?
Answer:
If they are unable to fulfill it and there is no one to fulfill it on their behalf and take it upon themselves, then their matter is left to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If they have an excuse for not fulfilling it, then Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. If they have no excuse, then their matter is left to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
