Question:
Also, this questioner asks. He says: A man from Abha, whose name is Muhammad, had a minor accident, and Allah kept him safe. I said, “If Allah wills, I will slaughter a sheep,” but I did not do it. Is that considered an obligatory vow?
Answer:
It is not considered obligatory because you added “if Allah wills” to it. This is an exception. If one says “if Allah wills” in a vow or an oath, it does not become binding. Yes.
