Formula as a Condition for Authentication of Vow
Issue No. 2274- A vow will be in order only if a formula is pronounced for it whether the formula is done in Arabic or in any other languages. Therefore, if a person says, “If my wish is fulfilled, it will be obligatory upon me to give a certain quantity of property to a poor person for the sake of Allah”, his vow will be in order. Even if he says, “I vow for Allah that if that wish of mine is fulfilled, I will do a certain good act”, it will be sufficient.
