| Question: OCD AND VOWS | |
| As salaam u alaikum Shaykh
Hope you are well First part : Regarding vows : I’ve been back and forth on multiple sites trying to figure out if feeding a meal ( no weight specified ) is sufficient or does it have to weight approximately 1.5kg ? Is it permissible to cook a rice and accompaniment dish and feed to the homeless ( no weighing of food will be done here ) I’ve checked other answers . Some specify weight some specify lunch or dinner as sufficient so I am unsure One organization uses the fitra amount of R27 for a hanafi per person Can I ask the organization to pay them of off on my behalf Second part : Previously had/have severe OCD do my previous vows count as I used them as a coping mechanism in order to do or not to do something . I did not fully understand the seriousness of it until now I cannot remember the number of vows as well . Maybe 1-3 a day for over 3/5 years Part 3 : what constitutes a vow ? Does it have to have the name of Allah swt in it for it to count ? Your assistance will help Jazakallah khair |
