Question

Hello, A person made a vow that if he smokes in the coming month, certain foods will be prohibited to him for a specific time. After some time, he took a cigarette and is unsure: a) whether he is within the month of the vow; b) he does not remember at all the names of the foods he prohibited to himself. What is his status? If annulment is needed, before whom can he annul it? Thank you in advance.

Answer

Hello, 

In such a case, he should annul his vow. 

The annulment is done before three men who are of age of mitzvot.
