My Grandfather was very sick , he was in critical condition so in that moment I just thought (kind of made commitment) that Allah please gave him health, then I’ll keep 10 fasts. But now I came to know it’s prohibited , I’ve already kept 3 fasts as Alhamdullilah he is fine now so my question is should I keep the rest 7 of them and then refrain from doing such thing.
