Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz from Riyadh, please, Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz. May Allah keep you in goodness, O Shaykh, you and the honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. May Allah give you life, please go ahead. Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz, the television signal is a bit weak. Please go ahead. Shaykh, I have a question, may you live long. I made a vow to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and I did not fulfill this vow. I do not know whether I should fast for three days or feed ten poor people.
Answer:
What is the vow, my brother? The vow, may you live long, you vowed to Allah that if you left this job and you were Salim Ghanim, you would not walk sixty kilometers on your legs. And it has been four years since this vow, from the day you made it until now, meaning you have not completed the vow. I do not know whether to fast for ten days, three days, or feed ten poor people. May Allah reward you with good. Yes, it is the expiation for an oath: feeding ten poor people, or clothing ten poor people, or freeing a slave, if you are able. If you do not find the means, then you fast for three days.
