Prohibiting an Object to a Friend
Question
If someone says to his friend, 'I forbid you to touch this object,' or 'I forbid you this object,' is this considered as making a vow prohibiting his friend from this object?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
This phrase implies a vow. However, if it is clear from the context that he is not prohibiting his friend but merely warning him not to use it due to the law of theft, it is not considered a vow.
