The ruling on the accumulation of vows on a poor person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My brother often makes vows, and several vows have accumulated on him. He is now a poor man and says, “I do not know what to do.” May Allah reward you.
Answer:
He is required to ask the people of knowledge, and not delegate someone else to ask on his behalf. He should ask the scholars who are near him, or write to the Department of Ifta in Riyadh, and they will look into his question. However, the type of these vows is unknown, and it is not known; perhaps there is nothing in them and they were not established. Therefore, he must mention the type of the vow and when, meaning when he made the vow. Yes.
