Question:
There is a person who does not keep fast. A pious man made this
promise to him: “If you fast, I will give you fifty rands for each fast
which you keep.” The man kept the fasts, and is now asking for the
money which he was promised. The pious man says to him: “I only
promised you so as to encourage you to fast.” Who is in the right?
Answer:
The man who kept the fasts will receive the rewards for them and will
absolve himself of his obligation, but he will not be eligible for the
money.
Allah ta‛ala knows best.
