3815 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: إِنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَحْرٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أُخْتٍ لَهُ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ حَافِيَةً غَيْرَ مُخْتَمِرَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مُرْهَا فَلْتَخْتَمِرْ، وَلْتَرْكَبْ، وَلْتَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ»

Commentary
Walking bareheaded is prohibited for a woman. It is, therefore, forbidden to fulfill such a vow. Walking barefoot is permissible and possible also. But since the other part of the vow was forbidden, she was commanded to break the vow and perform expiation.
