Question
I made a vow to Allah Ta'ala that if I am successful in a certain court case, I shall fast one month. Now, I have been successful. Is it waajib to fast a month or can I pay Fidyah? If it is Waajib to fast a month, will it be permissible to fast a few days at a time, and not all 30 days consecutively?
Answer
You have to compulsorily fast one month. Fidyah is not valid. If it was your intention to fast 30 days one after the other, then this too will be obligatory. It appears that when you said "one month', you had intended to fast 30 days consecutively.
