(Book 22, Hadith 8) #36086
The Obligation of Obeying Allah

SUMMARY: Obeying Allah is mandatory and one should not vow to do something that is against the will of Allah.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Talha ibn Abi al-Malik al- Ayli from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn as-Siddiq from A'isha that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him. Whoever vows to disobey Allah, let him not disobey Him". Yahya said that he had heard Malik say, "The meaning of the statement of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Whoever vows to disobey Allah, let him not disobey Him' is that for instance a man who vows that, if he speaks to such-and-such a person, he will walk to Syria, Egypt, or any other such things which are not considered as ibada, is not under any obligation by any of that, even if he did speak to the man or did break whatever it was he swore, because Allah does not demand obedience in such things. He should only fulfill those things in which there is obedience to Allah". 22.5 Rashness in Oaths
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الأَيْلِيِّ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصِّدِّيقِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يُطِيعَ اللَّهَ فَلْيُطِعْهُ وَمَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ فَلاَ يَعْصِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of obeying the will of Allah. It states that whoever vows to obey Him should fulfill their vow and whoever vows to disobey Him should not do so. This means that if someone makes a promise or an oath which goes against the teachings or commands of Islam then they are not obligated to fulfill it. For example, if someone swears they will walk from one place to another if they speak with a certain person then this is considered an act which does not please God and thus it would be better for them not to fulfill such a vow. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that we should be careful when making promises or oaths as rashness in this regard can lead us astray from our faith and cause us harm in both this world and the hereafter.
