Question
Hello, I vowed that if I do a certain thing, I will give money to charity. Can I ask about annulling the vow I made?
Answer
Hello,
Although according to the essence of the law, a vow to give charity is not typically annulled, in this case, it is considered a condition rather than a vow of charity. Therefore, as long as you have not violated the vow, you can inquire about it and perform a vow annulment.
