Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one vows to disobey Allah, he should not disobey Him. So if one vows to commit a sin, is there an expiation on him?
Answer:
The scholars have differed on this, because in some narrations it is stated that there is no fulfillment of a vow in the disobedience of Allah, and its expiation is the expiation of an oath. So if he performs the expiation of an oath, that is the most cautious course. Yes.
