The questioner: In a second question, our professor.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: That a woman made a vow; children would be born to her and they would die, so she vowed that if...
The Shaykh: A moment, I swear by Allah, a moment.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Do you know the library "Tammam al-Mannah"? Get us a copy and put it on the shelf.
Can you come tomorrow to get it?
The questioner: I swear, I don't think so tomorrow; because, if Allah wills, if I am able, I will come, if Allah wills. Will you be at home tomorrow or going out?
The Shaykh: Listen, there is a lesson on Tuesday.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: My wife will take the copy for your wife.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Are we going?
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Okay, your second question?
The questioner: A woman whose children were being born and dying made a vow that if Allah gave her a surviving son, she would slaughter a sheep for him every year. So this woman is now unable to slaughter?
The Shaykh : From which aspect?
The questioner: She is financially unable.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Is it permissible, first of all, for her to make a vow like this without her husband's permission?
The Shaykh: It is permissible; because this is an act of obedience.
The questioner: Yes, and is the expiation for a broken vow the same as the expiation for a broken oath?
The Shaykh : That is correct.
The questioner: Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.

Another questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
