Question : All right, Shaykh, a second question. Yes, regarding a brother of mine, a friend, I mean. Yes, go ahead, Shaykh, a brother in Allah, I mean. Yes, so Allah took him. Yes, so I made a vow, I mean, I said, “If Allah wills.” I said, “If Allah wills, as long as the newborn is here in Saudi Arabia, I will send him a sum of money for his children.” So, is this vow, Shaykh, settled?
