The Shaykh : This man says, "If I do not do such-and-such, then such-and-such." What is the intention?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : To compel himself to the action. The intention is to compel himself to the action. We say we call this the vow of contention and anger. The scholars give it a specific name, and there is no need for a dispute over terminology, as long as they have called it the vow of contention and anger, even if there is no contention or anger in it. We say what they said and call it what they called it. What is the intention here? To compel it, or to verify it. To verify it, he says, or to deny it. To verify it, for example, by telling us a story: "Is this true?" He says, "It is true." We say, "It is not true, this is not correct." He says, "I make a vow to Allah that if it is a lie, I will fast for a year." Why did he say this? To verify his statement. Yes, we say he intended to verify his statement, or to deny it, the opposite, by having someone tell him something and saying, "No, you are a liar." How am I a liar? He says, "Yes, if what you are saying is true, then my slaves are free." What is the intention here? To deny it, meaning he emphasizes that he is denying this man with this statement. The scholars say that the ruling of this is the ruling of an oath, as the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says, what is its ruling?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : He is given the choice, yes, he is given the choice between fulfilling it and paying the expiation for an oath, like an oath, meaning as if he swore to something: if he does it, there is no expiation, and if he does not do it, he owes the expiation. The point is, we say this vow: if you wish, do what you vowed, and if you wish, pay the expiation for an oath. Do you understand? Good, why? Is there evidence pointing to that?

The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This is in the case of an oath.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, this author cited as evidence this hadith narrated by Abu Sa'id in his "Sunan" "Sunan"Sunan an-Nasa'i 3846Da'if (Darussalam) As for the reasoning, they said that this is equivalent to an oath because he did not intend by this vow anything other than prevention, compulsion, verification, or denial. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said Sahih al-Bukhari 1 So let us give an example so we know how the choice works. This man said, "I make a vow to Allah that if I do such-and-such, I will fast three days." So he did it. Is he obligated to fast three days or pay the expiation for an oath? Hmm?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : He is given the choice. If he wishes, he fasts three days, and if he wishes, he pays the expiation for an oath, because the ruling of this vow is the ruling of an oath. Good, if we say its ruling is the ruling of an oath, is it better for him to fulfill it or better for him to pay the expiation?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : We say it has been established for us that the issue depends on what the oath is made upon. If it is good, then it is better to fulfill it. And here, in most cases, it is good because it is a vow. Yes, but with that, so that we do not oblige him, we say you are given the choice between fulfilling it and paying the expiation for the oath.

There is no vow at a moment of anger and its expiation is the expiation for an oath.
لا نذر في غضب وكفارته كفارة يمينThe reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.
