The Ruling on the Disliked Vow and Its Expiation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What came in the interior of the obstacle.
The Shaykh:
In a narration in Ahmad regarding the camel, but it is a defective narration, because it is from the narration of Qatadah from Hukam, and he is a mudallis (one who conceals defects) and weak, and it also contradicts the principles. The principles regarding vows are only expiations, the expiation of oaths. A camel does not enter into the principles; the camel is for matters of gifts and what is related to Hajj and 'Umrah. It has no connection to oaths and vows. The intent is that the narration is weak.
The questioner:
In the field.
The Shaykh:
The narration is weak, yes.
The questioner:
Fasting is obligatory when one is given the choice between its expiation and its family.
The Shaykh:
If she was poor, and for this reason she was commanded to fast. In the original ruling, there is a choice. Perhaps 'Uqba's sister was poor, and for this reason she was commanded to fast. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
Yes. Is there an expiation for the sin? Is there an expiation on him for it? If he did it, he must repent, and there is no expiation on him. There is no expiation, but he must repent. Yes.
The questioner:
A disliked vow. Come.
The Shaykh:
For example, he vows that he will not pray the regular voluntary prayer of the midday prayer or the regular voluntary prayer of the dawn prayer. This is a disliked vow. He breaks his oath and prays the regular voluntary prayer. If he does not pray, there is no doubt about that; because it is a voluntary prayer. May Allah guide you, and I bear witness that music. Peace be upon you.
