Fulfilling a vow taken with a friend

· 15 Muharram 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I wanted to know about my vow which I made together with my friend. The vow was that we both will go together for umrah if we get admission. Somehow I found out that he was an evil and not a true friend. So I'm no more friends with him. Should I go for umrah with him for the cause of fulfilling our vow?

Answer

No, you don't have to go with him. He can go separately.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
