The ruling on the obligation to fulfill a vow upon recovery from illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a brother whom Allah afflicted with one of the illnesses, and he said, “If Allah the Exalted heals me, I will give five hundred dinars to the poor.”
The Shaykh : This is your first question.
The questioner : Yes, it is the same question.
The Shaykh : Why are they repeating it?
The questioner : I did not record it, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Ah.
The questioner : Yes, I will give five hundred dinars to the poor. It appears, if Allah wills, that our Lord the Exalted has healed him from this illness. What is required of him?
The Shaykh : He must fulfill his vow. What is the point of the question? It is understood. What is required of him?
The questioner : I mean, he said he is asking the Shaykh about this question.
The Shaykh : He is required to fulfill his vow and give the five hundred dinars to the poor.
The questioner : Yes. In terms of weight. When, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : He must fulfill it.
The questioner : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : When he is certain that he has been healed, at that point he must fulfill the vow.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you.
The Shaykh : This is your first question.
The questioner : Yes, it is the same question.
The Shaykh : Why are they repeating it?
