And whatever expenditure you expend be it as alms or a voluntary almsgiving and whatever vow you make and fulfil surely God knows it and will requite you for it. For the evildoers who prevent almsgiving and vows or expend other than the way they should in disobedience to God they have no helpers to protect them from His chastisement.

"Vows do not bring the son of Adam anything unless it has been decreed for him. But he is dominated by Divine preordainment, and will get what is decreed for him. And (vows) are a means of making the miser give something, so what he desires becomes obtainable for him, which was not obtainable before his vow. And Allah says: 'Spend, I will spend on you.'

Sunan Ibn Majah #1860It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Sahih

"Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him, and whoever vows to disobey Allah, let him not disobey Him. "

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #2552Shahib bin Bashir narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:Sahih

"All expenditures are in Allah's Cause, except for buildings, for there is no good in it."

Sahih al-Bukhari #6450Narrated Abu Huraira:Sahih

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says, 'The vow, does not bring about for the son of Adam anything I have not decreed for him, but his vow may coincide with what has been decided for him, and by this way I cause a miser to spend of his wealth. So he gives Me (spends in charity) for the fulfillment of what has been decreed for him what he would not give Me before but for his vow."

Sunan an-Nasa'i #3814It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said:Sahih

"Do not make vows, for a vow does not have any impact on the Qadar. Rather it is just a means of taking wealth from the miserly."
