Summary
All different vows made for the same matter must be fulfilled if each is an act of obedience to Allah. The vows may be fulfilled at a suitable time, but they remain a debt owed to Allah until they are performed. If a person is unable to fulfil a vow after making an effort, he or she must pay the kaffarah: feeding or clothing ten poor people or freeing a slave, and fasting three days if none of these is possible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan perbincangan dan perbahasan di atas, kami menyimpulkan bahawa nazar yang pelbagai dan berlainan bagi satu perkara yang sama hendaklah ditunaikan kesemuanya, jika sekiranya ia merupakan satu ketaatan kepada Allah SWT.
