Question
I study in medical college. Many of our college students occasionally swear during exams that if I pass this exam or pass the first class, I will donate so much money in the way of Allah, or fast for so long. Some people, after passing the desired result, vow that I will perform two rak'ats of prayer or one day's fast to give thanks. Lately, some students have started saying that it is not right to make a vow. There is a prohibition on swearing in Hadith. Vows are of no real use; Rather, it is a sinful act. The question is, is there any such hadith in reality? If so, which book is the hadith and the hadith is saheeh or not? What is the meaning of the hadith that they say that swearing is a sin? Oblige to answer the issues. 4817778529

To make a vow means to make a good deed which is not obligatory obligatory upon oneself. It can happen in two ways.
- To vow without any condition that I am vowing to pray two rak'ats or to give some money as charity. Such a vow is permissible. There is no problem in this.
- Conditional vow. In this way, if I pass the exam, I will donate so much money. Or if my son recovers, I will fast for two days.This second type of vow is discouraged in the hadith. The hadith in this regard has been narrated from more than one Companion in a pure sanad in many books of hadith including Sahih Bukhari-Muslim. Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar. Narrated from he said-The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Peace be upon him and the vow.”That is, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade making a vow and said that a vow cannot return anything. By vows only some wealth is brought out from the miserly. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 606)In another narration, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:إن النذر لا يقرب من ابن آدم شيئا لم يكن الله قدره له, ولكن النذر يوافق القدر, فيخرج بذلك من البخيل ما لم يكن البخيل يريد أن يخرج.They will not be able to bring what Allah has not ordained for the children of Adam by making a vow. However, sometimes the vow is in accordance with destiny and it brings out wealth from the miserly people which he did not want to take out. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1840)In the interpretation of the above hadith, Keram has said two things in Muhaddisin-One. It is forbidden to make a vow with the belief that a vow changes one's destiny.Two. To condition an important thing like worship with other work, that if this work of mine is completed, I will give so much money as charity - it is not a praiseworthy thing to condition any worship in this way; Rather, it is an unpleasant and ugly method.In order to get rid of danger or to meet any need, the masnun method is to engage in more and more worship. Praying to Allah with unconditional supererogatory prayers and giving alms. Do not make the matter of supererogatory prayers and charity conditional on any other work; Rather, in times of danger, these things will work according to their immediate ability. This is the most beneficial way to get rid of danger.Of course, this second method of making a vow is disliked, but it is not a sin. If anyone does that, he will not be guilty. Imam Tahabi rah. Said-It is not forbidden for him to be sinful.That is, the prohibition of swearing by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the hadeeth is not because swearing is a sin. (Sharhu Maanil Ashar 2/306)It is revealed that the above prohibition of Hadith is in the context of making a vow or whether one should make a vow or not. But if someone makes a vow, it becomes obligatory for him to fulfill it. The Qur'an-Hadith emphasizes the importance of fulfilling one's vows. It has been narrated in the narration of Sifat of the virtuous people of the Qur'an:يُوْفُوْنَ بِالنَّذْرِ.That is, they fulfill their vows. [Surah Dahr (6): 6]According to a narration from Sahih Bukhari, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:Whoever makes a vow that obeys God will obey him.That is, if one vows obedience to Allah, he should do so. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 696)It is to be noted that the vow to be fulfilled in the Hadith is the vow of good deeds; Not a vow to commit a sin. It is haraam to vow sinful deeds. And it is not permissible to fulfill it. It has been narrated in a hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:وَمَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَعْصِيَهُ فَلاَ يَعْصِهِ.And whoever vows sin, let him not commit sin. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 696) 1193751653
