حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قِلَابَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتُ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ ، قَالَ : " نَذَرَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَنْحَرَ إِبِلًا بِبُوَانَةَ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَنْحَرَ إِبِلًا بِبُوَانَةَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ كَانَ فِيهَا وَثَنٌ مِن أَوْثَانِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يُعْبَدُ ؟ ، قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : هَلْ كَانَ فِيهَا عِيدٌ مِنْ أَعْيَادِهِمْ ؟ ، قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَوْفِ بِنَذْرِكَ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا وَفَاءَ لِنَذْرٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ ، وَلَا فِيمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ ابْنُ آدَمَ " .
Narrated Thabit ibn ad-Dahhak: In the time of the Prophet ﷺ a man took a vow to slaughter a camel at Buwanah. So he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I have taken a vow to sacrifice a camel at Buwanah. The Prophet ﷺ asked: Did the place contain any idol worshipped in pre-Islamic times? They (the people) said: No. He asked: Was any pre-Islamic festival observed there? They replied: No. The Prophet ﷺ said: Fulfil your vow, for a vow to do an act of disobedience to Allah must not be fulfilled, neither must one do something over which a human being has no control.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
At such places where the people of disbelief and polytheism, and the people of innovation, perform their specific acts,
a Muslim who follows the Sunnah should refrain from worshipping Allah at those locations.
Similarly, those specific days and dates in which these people have made their innovations well-known, it is better to avoid performing acts of goodness resembling theirs on those occasions,
so that disassociation from them and their innovations may be expressed.

Explanation:
1:
That is, when making a vow (nadhar), if the matter is not within the servant’s control, then such a vow is not valid.
Even if later he gains control over that matter, the vow will still not be fulfilled,
and there is no expiation (kaffarah) upon it either.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الأيمان والنذور، باب مايؤمر به من وفاء النذر، حديث:3313، والطبراني في الكبير:2 /75، 76، حديث:1341، وحديث كردم:أخرجه أحمد:3 /419 وهو حديث حسن.»©Explanation:
➊ This hadith is evidence that making a vow (nadhar) regarding permissible matters is allowed.
➋ Slaughtering (an animal) at the place of idols or at the sites of the festivals and gatherings of the disbelievers is among the major sins, even if the intention is nothing but seeking Allah’s pleasure, because this involves promoting the manifestations of their polytheism and the symbols of their religion.
Clarification: « حضرت کَرْدم رضی اللہ عنہ » bin Sufyan al-Thaqafi.
In “Kardam,” the letter “kaf” has a fatha (a), and the “ra” is sukun (silent).
From him, his daughter, Lady Maymunah radi Allahu anha, and Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As radi Allahu anhuma have narrated.
