The questioner : May Allah benefit us with your knowledge: O Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who makes a forbidden vow? Is it obligatory for him to fulfill it?
The Shaykh : What did he vow?
The questioner : That he will do something forbidden. So is it obligatory for him to fulfill this vow or not?
The Shaykh : Is it?
The questioner : So is it obligatory for him to fulfill this vow or not?
The Shaykh : No, if he vows to do something forbidden, it is forbidden for him to fulfill it, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):Sunan Ibn Majah 2126Sahih (Darussalam). So if he vows, for example, not to speak to his uncle, the vow is forbidden, and he must speak to his uncle and feed ten poor people. And if he vows not to pray in congregation, he must pray and feed ten poor people. So whoever vows to do something forbidden, whether it is leaving an obligatory act or committing a sin, he does not fulfill it, but he must expiate with the expiation of an oath. Yes, please go ahead.
