As-salam-alakum, I want to ask that I love my cousin since 1998. I prayed to Allah and dua if I get married with her I will go for 4months in Jamat. This is my first mannat. After sometime I changed my mannat saying I will do one month Ayetkaaf. But she got married to someone. After one year, she got divorced from him. Then I tried to get married with her but could not. After soemtime I got married with someone else. After one year I also got divorced from her. Now I’m getting married with my cousin for whom I made dua’s to Allah with mannat. Now, it’s second marriage for both of us. I do a job in BPO so it’s not possible for me to get four month or one month leave if any one of these conditions to be fulfilled. Please tell me if the mannat is wajib on me and if it’s wajib how I can fulfill this or any one of these. My company will not permit me to take one month or four moth leave. now a days it’s hard to get a job. Please Tell me if there is any other way to fulfill this mannat. Please give me the best solution for this. Please remember both of us in your dua to Allah for happy life. Regards!

This mannat (vow or pledge) is neither valid nor it is necessary to fulfil it. You should continue your work.
