Question
I vowed to build a cabinet by the end of the month. It is now Friday afternoon, and there is no chance I will finish it before Shabbat. On the other hand, Shabbat is the last day of the month, and I cannot reach a rabbi to annul the vow before Shabbat. What should I do to avoid breaking the vow?
Answer
In this case, it is permissible to annul the vow on Shabbat.
