Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. If you swear to perform a deed on behalf of someone else, Allah is the One who does that, and this is the most appropriate place.
Answer:
The school of thought says: Yes, the school of thought is that you break your oath, and the other opinion is the choice of the Shaykh, which is that you do not break your oath, because you intended to honor him, and the honor was achieved, because it became obligatory upon you and you swore to it, so the intended purpose, which is honoring him, was achieved. The opinion is: Yes.
