The Difference Between an Oath and a Vow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than the Shaykh, Allah informs you that it is an agreement between the oath and the two hands.
Answer:
An oath is not a vow, but they resemble each other in the obligation of expiation. An oath is swearing by Allah or by one of His attributes, as you have heard. As for a vow, it is a commitment to an act of obedience that is not obligatory upon him by the original law of the Shari'ah. It does not contain the word "oath" or the letters of an oath; it is merely a commitment. Yes.
