Q:
I made a vow that if
Kuwait
would become liberated during the reign of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King
Fahd ibn `Abdul-`Aziz
that I would perform Sujud-ul-Shukr (Prostration of Thankfulness to Allah) in
Kuwait.
Indeed,
Kuwait
has become liberated, but I am crippled and I cannot walk, board a plane, or bear the difficulty of travel. What should I do to fulfill my vow?
A:
You have to perform Sujud-ul-Shukr that you vowed to offer wherever you are. You do not have to travel to
Kuwait to perform it there. This is because there is no particularity except for three Masjids (mosques):
Al-Masjid Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah),
Al-Masjid Al-Nabawy (the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah), and
Al-Aqsa Mosque. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
