Breaking a vow

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2017-11-04 06:22

Q:

1. A condition for a vow is that it must be verbal and therefore if one cannot remember if he made a vow verbally or in his mind is it binding?

2. If I made a vow that I will give my first months wages from my new job to charity then I spend the money, is my vow broken and will Kaffarah be necessary? Or can I give the value of the first months wages another time in the future?

A:

1. If he is not clear about it then don't be concerned.

2. The equivalent of the amount is alright.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
