Question

I usually refrain from carrying on Shabbat in Bnei Brak, but this Shabbat I needed to carry medicine for a sick person in danger. Do I need to annul my vows?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

There is no need for annulment of vows.

For it is permitted to desecrate Shabbat with complete labors for the sake of a sick person, and certainly, it is permitted to override a good custom.
