Question
A sister vowed to fast 40 days after every Ramadan, and she started fulfilling the vow, but this year she feels very tired and fears for herself from fasting. What should she do?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Her vow is a debt upon her that must be fulfilled, and nothing other than fasting is sufficient. She can fulfill her vow by fasting at a later time when she is able to fast, and God knows best.
