Fatwa no. 12074

Q: I am a student in the second year of the preparatory stage. i made a vow that if i succeed this year and move to the third preparatory year, i will give a Sadaqah (voluntary charity) for the sake of Allah, but i failed, and i did not give Sadaqah. What is the ruling on this vow? What is the ruling on continuing my studies? Is it permissible to make a vow to observe Sawm (fasting)?

A: There is no harm in continuing your studies. If you succeed, fulfill your vow, as it is one of obedience. As for making a vow to observe Sawm, it is permissible, according to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him), A person who vows to obey Allah should do so.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
