Oaths & Vows

Breaking a promise

Q: A Moulana was doing a bayan on the internet and the Moulana said how much of you miss salaat some times, so I raised my hand. He was on the internet talking and I was listening on my phone. Then he said how much of you will make sure you will not miss namaz again so I put up my hands and then the Moulana said that we need to put in our minds that when we put up our hands, the angels were witness that we put up our hands. From today, now insha Allah I try to read my 5 times namaz. If I miss a salah, not on purpose but some times for fajr if the time is near to end and I put my alarm and I miss it or I said that I'll wake up and when I wake up time was up. Do I have to give kaffarah because I raised my hands when the Moulana said who will not miss salah from today? Is that a promise?

Boyfriends

Q: I am very worried. I make a kasam on Quran paak because my mom was crying in front of me. It was very hurtful to see my mother crying so I took a kasam but now I forget the correct kasam. What do I do? It was something like that I do not do the thing again means making a boy brother. Now what should I do? I have one friend (boy). We just chat and good friends. He is younger than me. So if I talk to him, is it breaking the kasam? Please help me.

Written oath

Q: Is a written oath on the name of Allah Ta'ala in a text message considered as a true oath or a false one? It was not spoken verbally, only written.

Husband forcing the wife to take an oath

Q: I am 32 years old. I got  married 10 years ago and have three kids. I had a relation in my past with other guy. I wanted to marr him but because of some issues did not get married. My husband is a very nice person but from some relatives of mine he came to know about my past. For the past 10 years I suffered from his anger now I am very much changed and pray, do prayers and istighfaar. My husband asked me to take an oath and touch the Qur'an and tell him everything. I don't want to distroy my marriage life and my three kids life. I also tell him about my past, but my husband wants to know each and everything which I don't want to tell him because I don't feel good. Please guide me. Can I take and oath for saving my marriage life and my kids life.
