Hadith 34801
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said heard al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad say, "A woman came to Abdullah ibn Abbas and said, 'I
have vowed to sacrifice my son.' Ibn Abbas said, 'Do not sacrifice
your son. Do kaffara for your oath.' An old man with Ibn Abbas said,
'What kaffara is there for this?' Ibn Abbas said, 'Allah the Exalted
said, "Those of you who say, regarding their wives.'Be as my mother's
back' (Sura58 ayat 2) and then He went on to oblige the kaffara for it
as you have seen.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik that Humayd ibn Qays and Thawr ibn
Zayd adDili both informed him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, (and one of them gave more detail than
the other),saw a man standing in the sun. The Messenger asked, "What's
wrong with him?" The people said, "He has vowed not to speak or to
seek shade from the sun or to sit and to fast." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Go and tell him
to speak, seek shade, and sit, but let him complete his fast."
Malik said, "I have not heard that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered the man in question to do
any kaffara. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, only ordered him to complete that in which there was obedience
to Allah and to abandon that in which there was disobedience to
Allah." Muwatta Malik Book 22, Hadith 7

Yahya related to me from Malik from Talha ibn Abi al-Malik al-
Ayli from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn as-Siddiq from A'isha that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him. Whoever vows to disobey
Allah, let him not disobey Him."
Yahya said that he had heard
Malik say, "The meaning of the statement of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, 'Whoever vows to disobey Allah, let him
not disobey Him' is that for instance a man who vows that, if he
speaks to such-and-such a person, he will walk to Syria, Egypt, or any
other such things which are not considered as ibada, is not under any
obligation by any of that, even if he did speak to the man or did
break whatever it was he swore, because Allah does not demand
obedience in such things. He should only fulfill those things in which
there is obedience to Allah."
