How can one fulfil an oath of not committing a sin?
Question
Assaalamualaykum, I know someone who took an oath that every time he committed a specific sin he would give a specific amount of charity. Is there any way out of this?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.
The solution is simple, the person should abstain from that sin.
And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.
