Question
Hello, honored Rabbi, 1. Is a thought to do something considered a vow? And if I discover after doing it several times that the way I'm performing the mitzvah is not necessary as I thought, should I continue as I thought? 2. Can I tell you and you perform an annulment of vows for me? 3. Another question, I wanted to know if it is permissible to paint and hang an abstract painting on the wall. Thank you very much
Answer
Hello,
A. A thought in the heart is not a vow.
B. Only an intention to give charity with determination and complete acceptance in the heart is considered a vow.
C. Someone who erred in a mitzvah and performed it differently, it is not a vow or acceptance in the heart, as it was accepted in error. There is no need for annulment of vows.
D. It is permissible to paint and hang an abstract painting.
