Make a promise which don’t match the real situation
I just make a promise in the name of Allah that I will tell something to my father on that time I wasn’t aware of the real situation but when I know about the real situation I found out that the promise I make on that time shouldn’t make it. So can I break it ?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmua ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It’s best to act upon a promise. But promises upon things you think were true, certain, but then later the opposite becomes clear. You owe no kaffara and there is no sin involved since Allah says, “Allah will not take you to task for inadvertent statements in your oaths, but He will take you to task for oaths you make intentionally.”
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
