1525. ‘Aishah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “There is no vowing for disobedience to Allāh, and its atonement is the atonement of an oath.” (Sahih)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, and it is more correct than the (previous) narration of Abū Ṣafwān from Yūnus. [Abū Ṣafwān is from Makkah and his name is ‘Abdullāh bin Sa‘eed bin ‘Abdul-Malik bin Marwān. Al-Ḥumaidī and more than one of the esteemed people of Hadīth reported from him].
There are those among the people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others who said: “There is no vowing for disobedience to Allāh, and its atonement is the atonement of an oath.” This is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq and they used the Hadīth of Az-Zuhri from Abū Salamah from ‘Aishah as proof.
Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said that there is no vowing for disobedience, and that there is no atonement for that. This is the view of Mālik and Ash-Shāfi‘ī.

Commentary
All the A'immah agree on the point that fulfillment of a vow that is against
the Commands of Allāh and against the Laws of Islam is unlawful. It should never be fulfilled.
