What should a wife do if her sick husband vowed to sacrifice a camel and distribute it to the poor if God cured him, and then the husband died and his wife saw him in a dream informing her of the obligation of the vow?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The heirs are not obligated to fulfill a vow contingent upon the deceased's recovery if the individual died before that recovery occurred, because the condition for the vow's obligation was not met. Furthermore, seeing the deceased in a dream has no legal consequence and does not necessitate action.
