Entrusting a person to fulfill a vow

Q 1: a Muslim brother entrusted me with buying two copies of the Glorious Qur’an and giving them to Al-Masjid Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah). He had made a vow to give two copies of the Glorious Qur’an as a Waqf (endowment) to Al-Masjid Al-Haram. Please advise me how I should carry out this obligation.


A: It is obligatory on you to carry out the mentioned vow by buying the two copies of the Qur’an and putting them in Al-Masjid Al-Haram, as this is a vow of obedience. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Anyone who vows to obey Allah, should obey Him.” May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
