Summary of the ruling on the vow contract.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : These are types of vows, but let us return to the first one: Is the vow contract permissible, disliked, or forbidden?
We say that it falls between two things: either it is disliked or it is forbidden. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it and explained the reason for the prohibition by stating that a vow brings no good and does not avert a decree that is not good.
