The ruling on one who says in his vow or oath: “If Allah wills”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person swears an oath, or makes a vow, and then follows his statement with the phrase: “If Allah wills,” and he does not do what he vowed, or what he swore to do, is there an expiation on him?
Answer:
The correct view is that there is no expiation on him if he says: “By Allah, I will certainly do such-and-such—if Allah wills,” or if he vows to Allah: “I will certainly do such-and-such—if Allah wills,” then he owes nothing; because this expression of will provides him with a way out and an exit. In the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 1378 Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
