Is merely breaking a promise one of the characteristics of the hypocrites?

Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Among the characteristics of the hypocrites mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is that when they make a promise, they break it. Does this mean that the promise was made with the intention of breaking it, or is merely breaking a promise due to circumstances or other reasons considered one of the characteristics of the hypocrites?

Answer:
Yes, the believer, when he makes a promise, fulfills it. This is one of the characteristics of the believers: keeping the promise. The opposite, which is breaking the promise, is one of the characteristics of the hypocrites. Yes.
