34. THE SILLY OLD WOMAN

There was an old woman in Makkah Mukarramah with the name of Reetah Bint Sa’d Bin Tameem Qurshiyah. She was insane and psycho. She used to weave yarn daily until noon but would tear down her work into pieces in the afternoon. She would also engage her bondswomen in spoiling her work. This was her daily routine.

Those who take oaths and swear to Allah and then break their commitments, Allah has prohibited them to do so, presenting the example of that woman. It is mentioned in the Holy Quran:

And fulfil the covenant of Allah when you have made it, and do not break your oaths after making them firm, and you have made Allah a Guarantor upon you; indeed Allah knows your deeds. And do not be like that woman who broke her yarn into bits after it has become strong.

Moral:

False commitment and breaking of promise is strictly prohibited and is a sin as per Shari’ah. Similarly, swearing oath in the name Allah and breaking it without any valid reason is not legitimate either. Allah has said, meaning fulfil your promises. Furthermore, Allah says meaning safeguard your oaths. However, if someone vowed a thing that is impermissible as per Shari’ah, then he should not maintain that. Instead, it is mandatory to break such oath and pay recompense instead.
