وَدَلِيلُ النَّذْرِ (١) قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: ﴿يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا﴾ (٢) [سُورَةُ الْإِنْسَانِ، الْآيَةُ:

The evidence for the vow (1) is His saying, the Almighty: 'They fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be widespread' (2) [Surat al-Insan, verse 7].

الثَّانِي: أَنْ يَقَعَ إِكْرَامًا لِضَيْفٍ أَوْ وَلِيمَةً لِعُرْسٍ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ فَهَذَا مَأْمُورٌ الْآخِرِ بِهِ إِمَّا وُجُوبًا أَوْ اسْتِحْبَابًا لِقَوْلِهِ: «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ» (١) وَقَوْلِهِ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ «أَوْلِمْ وَلَوْ بِشَاةٍ»

The second: That it occurs as an honoring of a guest, a wedding feast, or the like; this is commanded, either as an obligation or a recommendation, due to his saying: 'Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest' (1), and his saying to Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf: 'Give a feast, even if with a sheep' (2).

الثَّالِثُ: أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَى وَجْهِ التَّمَتُّعِ بِالْأَكْلِ أَوِ الْاِتِّجَارِ بِهِ وَنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ فَهَذَا مِنْ قِسْمِ الْمُبَاحِ فَالْأَصْلُ فِيهِ الْإِبَاحَةُ لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُمْ مِمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَا أَنْعَامًا فَهُمْ لَهَا مَالِكُونَ * وَذَلَّلْنَاهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ﴾ [سُورَةُ يس، الْآيَتَيْنِ: ٧١، ٧٢] وَقَدْ يَكُونُ مَطْلُوبًا أَوْ مَنْهِيًّا عَنْهُ حَسَبَمَا يَكُونُ وَسِيلَةً لَهُ.

The third: That it occurs for the purpose of enjoyment through eating, trading with it, or the like; this is from the category of the permissible, and the fundamental principle regarding it is permissibility, due to His saying, the Almighty: 'Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and they are their owners? And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat' [Surat Ya-Sin, verses 71, 72], and it may be required or forbidden depending on what it serves as a means for.
