Question:
Shaykh Salih, how do you reconcile Allah’s praise of those who fulfill their vows with the fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited vows?
Answer:
He prohibited entering into them initially. However, if one makes a vow that is a vow of obedience, it is obligatory to fulfill it, based on the verse and the hadith mentioned in this chapter, as well as other evidence.
