Question:
The Shaykh’s case is when a Muslim says, “By Allah, if I get the triangle…”
Answer:
This is with a vow; this is an oath. If he says, “By Allah, I will certainly do such-and-such if such-and-such happens,” this is an oath, not a vow. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
