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?

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.

Q: I'm in a dilemma. Three years back, out of josh I made a bunch of promises to Allah and qasams. I have since done proper Taubah for this. I don't remember whether I promised or took qasam to Allah that I will study my books every day. But since then I did for a month and haven't been keeping that promise or qasam. What is the kaffarah for this? I'm really scared does this count as me breaking the promise or qasam daily or is it the Initial promise or qasam? I went through a very hard time because of these broken promises/ qasams. After my taubah I felt contentment and started practicing again. After my taubah I felt contentment and started practicing again. I know not to make the same mistake. Another qasam I made was not to do a particular sin I did that sin multiple times after that. What is the kaffarah?

Q: I am a Hanfi. I want to ask that if someone swears by God or by Quran that I will not do this evil or any sinful thing for this much time and if I done it, Allah should made me kafir. Then if he cant keep it, what will happen, Is he going to be a kafir or not?

Q: If someone did a promise with Allah Ta'ala to leave some specific sin in private and no people are of witness to that. If the man did again that sin due to some reason, is there any kaffaara and what type of such promise is this?
