Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Salih, may Allah preserve you and bless you. Umm Lameh from Yemen says: I forbade something for myself, then I forgot and ate from it. What is the ruling? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
If you were forgetting at the time of eating, then you owe nothing,[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. Yes.
The questioner:
And what is the ruling regarding breaking a vow like this one?
The Shaykh:
Fulfilling the vow. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 so the obligation is not lifted except by fulfilling this vow. Allah the Exalted said, "They fulfill their vows," in praise of the pious, [Al-Insan 76:7] so fulfilling a vow of obedience is obligatory. Yes. Yes.
The questioner:
And if she forbade herself from eating and wants to go back on this vow?
The Shaykh:
The expiation for an oath. Whoever forbids what is lawful, his expiation is the expiation for an oath. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh
