Question
Hello, I made a vow and now I want to annul my vow. Can I send a messenger to annul the vow for me?
Answer
Hello,
It is not possible to send a messenger to annul your vow; you must personally appear before those who can annul it.
However, a husband can be a messenger to annul his wife's vows, provided that the three are already gathered together and he did not assemble them for this purpose.
