Oaths

Is it permissible to pray to Allah that if I get a job I will perform 3 Umrahs? Or if I get a promotion I will fast for 3 days? Things like if Allah fulfills a dua, I will give sadaqah…

This is not recommended.

If one makes a vow to not speak to someone (faasiq) and then accidentally does so, do they still have to offer expiation?

18 Oct

If he does it by mistake, there is no expiation.

A brother is collecting money for the Syrian refugees to give them rice and lentils can I give him the money to feed the poor for 10 people with my intention to expiate my oath?

03 Oct

Yes, providing he knows this.

The other day I swore by Allah ‘azza wa jal that I would help my wife with something on that day. I attempted to do it with her but she asked me to wait. Eventually time passed and i got tired. Before I fell asleep, I intended to start it but I fell asleep before I could. My wife also said it’s no problem to just do it the next day. Do I have to offer expiation for this oath?

03 Oct

Yes, unless your oath was dependent on your wife’s approval or permission.

I’ve swore on Allah at times for false reasons and even broken Allah’s promise. What should I do?

What you have done was a major sin that would dip a person in hell fire. It is so major that there is no expiation for it. You can only repent and do good deeds! As for promises you made to Allah in the past and broke that, you must feed ten poor people or clothe […]

I heard someone say that if you break a promise to Allah, one option is you have to feed 10 ppl two meals, but he said that you have to do it yourself, it doesn’t count if you pay someone else to do it. Is this true? I have seen big charity company’s offering to do it if you pay.

You feed ten poor people one meal! If you authorize this to someone who would feed them, this is permissible.

I recently joined a islamic organisation who are involved in various social projects for the downtroden muslims in India. However, when joining, a person held my hand to recite after him. It goes like “I pledge myself to the organisation and this bayyah is between me and Allah and I will give every second of my life dedicated to this organisation etc” is this valid?can I leave the org if i wish?

Bayyah is only given to a righteous Muslm ruler or leader of the Ummah, for the cause of Allah, and not to an Organization. This seems a bit strange to do this, maybe it’s best to not get too involved with the organization aside from helping with the charity projects. Of course you leave whenever […]

I made a vow to fast two months when my father is fully recovered from his massive heart attack. However, since then I read in a Sahih Hadith that Rasulullah SAW discouraged this type of vow because it does not change Qadr I want to know if it is permissible to change my vow to me fasting two months regardless of whatever happens?

25 Jun

It is too late! The vow had been already made and you must fulfill it if what you asked for happens.

What Quran and hadith tells us about aliens?

14 Mar

There isn’t anything that proves their existence or denies it.

If I make vow by myself from the heart [for example fast for number of days] but I didn’t move my tongue and I didn’t tell any body about the vow, so do I have to full fill the vow?

21 Dec

No, as long as you didn’t say it!
