He vowed not to buy meat, then he bought some food which had meat in it. Did he break his vow?

He said to his wife: I swear a threefold oath (of divorce) that you will go to school

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

If the meat was absorbed into the food, then he did not break his vow; otherwise, he did break his vow. And Allaah knows best.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in Islam
