The Ruling on Not Fulfilling a Vow
A woman vowed that if her mother-in-law passed away, she would prepare food and send it to her mother-in-law's daughters. Her mother-in-law has now passed away, and she is now afraid of the anger of her mother-in-law's daughters if she fulfills her vow. What are the consequences for her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: She should give the value of the food as charity to whomever she wishes among the poor, and God knows best.
