Sunan an-Nasai 3841 (Book 35, Hadith 81) #18456
No Vow for Disobedience

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that there is no need to make a vow for an act of disobedience, and the expiation for such a vow is the same as that of an oath.

It was narrated that 'Imran bin Husain, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no vow to commit an act of disobedience, and its expiation is the expiation for an oath'."
أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، - وَهُوَ الأَوْزَاعِيُّ - عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ الْحَنْظَلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، رضى الله عنهما قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ وَكَفَّارَتُهَا كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Do not make vows related to acts of disobedience

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should not make vows to do something wrong or sinful. If we do make such a vow, then the expiation for it is the same as that of an oath. An oath is when someone swears by Allah or something else to tell the truth or to do something specific. The expiation for breaking an oath is feeding ten poor people, giving clothes to ten poor people, or freeing one slave if you are able to do so. This hadith reminds us not only not to commit acts of disobedience but also not even think about making vows related to them in order to avoid having any kind of sin on our hands.
