Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "A vow does not bring good," is the intended meaning of "good" in worldly affairs, or that its outcome is not good?
Answer:
It encompasses the fact that it does not bring good, as stated in[Ghafir 40:43]. Goodness comes from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); it is not that goodness is achieved because of the vow. Do not believe that you only received good because you made a vow. Rather, believe that goodness comes from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
