What is the ruling on vows in the Holy Quran? Is it disliked (makruh) or not?

A vow (nadhr) is a prescribed act of worship in Islam, and it has two categories: 1. A vow where one commits to giving money or sacrificing an animal upon the fulfillment of a certain wish. This type is disliked (makrooh) or forbidden (haram) due to the hadith: "Indeed, it brings no good, but it only extracts from the miserly." 2. A vow where one commits to an act of obedience, such as prayer, fasting, zakat, or Umrah. This type is permissible and falls under the saying of Allah the Almighty: "They fulfill their vows" (76:7).

Fulfilling both types of vows is obligatory, except for a vow of disobedience, which must not be fulfilled, as stated in the hadith: "Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him; and whoever vows to disobey Allah, let him not disobey Him." It is better for a Muslim to avoid making vows.
