Question:
After this, a message was sent by the listener Muhammad 'Abd al-Halim Musa, who says: I vowed to Allah to fast two consecutive months two years ago or more, if Allah would open up abundant provision for me. Praise be to Allah, that has happened. But every time I start fasting, I cannot complete the day because of the work that exhausts me. I work in a farm with continuous labor. Is there an expiation for this vow?
Answer:
You must fulfill your vow, and you should arrange for someone in the farm to relieve you of some of the burden during the period of fasting. Seek help from Allah, and then from some workers, so that they can relieve you of the burden. As long as Allah has given you abundant provision, employ from what Allah has given you workers who can relieve you of the burden so that you can fast. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
