Q: I currently live in a hostel. I talked to another hostel owner to book a room. He kept a room for me for over 4 days and he denied other people who wanted that room. Now in the morning, the current hostel warden showed me another room with fewer charges and I decided to stay in the current hostel and not to shift. Now, if I stay, did I go against my word (wada khilafi)? I am feeling extremely guilty and I am starting to worry about my beliefs because of the backing out. Can I just say sorry and give some fine?
A: You do not have to give the fine. This is not a wadah. It is a question of preference. Until you have not confirmed anything it does not amount to a wadah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
