Obligation of Acting according to the Covenant
Issue No. 2298- Acting upon a covenant is obligatory as it is in the case of a vow, provided that the formula for it is pronounced. For example, one should say, “I make a covenant with Allah that I will perform that certain good act”. However, if one does not pronounce the formula or if that act is not desirable from the Islamic point of view, his covenant is not valid.
