Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I vowed to fast one day and break the fast one day permanently, but then I found it difficult. What should I do? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Answer: He is obligated to do so; he is obligated to fast one day and break the fast the next, because this is an act of obedience. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fasting one day and breaking the fast the next is an act of obedience, and it is the fast of Dawud (peace be upon him). Our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So he is obligated to do this; he is obligated to fulfill his vow, even if it is difficult for him. He is the one who put himself in this situation by making the vow. He made the vow from the beginning. As for wanting to get out of it after making the vow, no, he cannot, unless he is completely unable to do it, in which case he should ask.
