Question

When one breaks his promise to Allah what should he do? Will paying some Sadaqah suffice?

Answer

One should engage in Taubah and Istighfaar for breaking one’s promise. Also, seek forgiveness from the person with whom the promised was made.

Ask Ibn Masood

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
