[2618 -3022] ما الفرق بين النذر والحلف؟ - الشيخ صالح الفوزان

The Sheikh explains that an oath (حلف) is made by Allah. A vow (نذر), on the other hand, is when a person commits themselves to something that is not originally obligatory upon them by Islamic law.

The Sheikh defines an oath (حلف) as being made by Allah. This implies invoking Allah's name or attributes to confirm or promise something.

The key characteristic of a vow (نذر) is that an individual obligates themselves to perform an action or commitment. This commitment is something that was not initially required of them by Islamic law.
