The ruling on a vow that was not specified
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His final question is: If I made a vow to Allah three times on different occasions, do I have to fast nine days for these three vows, or is it sufficient to fast only three days for these combined vows? Please advise us, may Allah reward you, and thank you.
Answer:
A vow differs; if you say, "I have a vow upon me for Allah if I do such and such," or "if I do such and such," and you did it, you owe the expiation for an oath; because you did not specify anything, you did not say, "I will fast," or "I will give charity of such and such." If the vow was not specified, the expiation for an oath is required. And if you make another vow and say, "I have a vow upon me for Allah if I speak to so-and-so," other than your first vow, and you spoke to him, you also owe the expiation for an oath. And if you make a third vow and say, "I have a vow upon me for Allah if I travel to such and such," and then you traveled, you owe the expiation for an oath, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): .
But if you specified it, saying, "I have a vow upon me for Allah to fast three days if a child is born to me," or "I have a vow upon me for Allah to fast ten days if Allah heals me from such and such," then you must fast if Allah heals you, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 2126Sahih (Darussalam). Likewise, if you said, "I have a vow upon me for Allah to give charity of one hundred riyals, or one thousand riyals, if Allah heals my child, or if Allah heals me, or if Allah heals my father or my mother," and the healing occurred, you give charity as you said, and so on for what is similar to that. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

The expiation for a vow is the expiation for an oath if it was not specified
كفارة النذر، كفارة اليمين إذا لم يسمThe expiation for a vow is the expiation for an oath if it was not specified
كفارة النذر كفارة اليمين إذا لم يسمBut if you specified it, saying, "I have a vow upon me for Allah to fast three days if a child is born to me," or "I have a vow upon me for Allah to fast ten days if Allah heals me from such and such," then you must fast if Allah heals you, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him, and whoever vows to disobey Allah, let him not disobey Him.
