Question
Hello, I vowed not to walk on a certain street because there is immodesty there, and now I must go there. Can I have a vow annulment for such a vow, or will it be forbidden for me to go there for life?
Answer
Hello,
According to the basic law, it is not possible to annul the vow, because vows that may lead to prohibition due to the annulment are not annulled.
However, for a person who knows with certainty that they will violate the vow, this vow is annulled.
