Sunan Abi Dawud 3293 (Book 22, Hadith 52) #23583
Fulfilling Vows in Hajj

SUMMARY: The Prophet advised Uqbah to tell his sister to cover her head, ride a mount and fast for three days when she had taken a vow to perform Hajj barefooted and bareheaded.

Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: Uqbah consulted the Prophet about his sister who took a vow to perform hajj barefooted and bareheaded. So he said: Command her to cover her head and to ride, and to fast three days.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَحْرٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ‏:‏ أَنَّهُ، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ عَنْ أُخْتٍ لَهُ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ حَافِيَةً غَيْرَ مُخْتَمِرَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ مُرُوهَا فَلْتَخْتَمِرْ وَلْتَرْكَبْ، وَلْتَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fulfilling vows made during the pilgrimage of Hajj. Uqbah ibn Amir consulted the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about his sister who had taken a vow to perform hajj barefooted and bareheaded. The Prophet ﷺ advised him to command her to cover her head, ride a mount and fast for three days instead of fulfilling the vow as it was too difficult for her. This teaches us that we should not make vows that are too difficult or impossible for us to fulfill, as Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. We should also be mindful of our words and think before making any promises or commitments that we may not be able to keep later on.
