وعن ثابت بن الضحاك رضي الله عنه قال : نذر رجل على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أن ينحر إبلا ببوانة فأتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فسأله فقال :« هل كان فيها وثن يعبد ؟ » قال : لا قال : « فهل كان فيها عيد من أعيادهم ؟ » فقال : لا فقال : « أوف بنذرك فإنه لا وفاء لنذر في معصية الله ولا في قطيعة رحم ولا فيما لا يملك ابن آدم » رواه أبو داود والطبراني واللفظ له وهو صحيح الإسناد وله شاهد من حديث كردم عند أحمد.
Narrated Thabit bin ad-Dahhak (RA): that in the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a man took a vow to slaughter camels at Bawana. So, he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him (about that). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Did the place contain any idol which was worshiped (during Jahiliyya era)?" He said, "No." He asked "Were any of their (Jahiliyya) festivals observed there?" He said, "No." He then said (to the man), "Fulfill your vow, for there is no fulfillment of a vow to do an act of disobedience to Allah, now to break the ties of relationship, nor to do something over which a human being has no control." [Reported by Abu Dawud and at-Tabarani, and the wording is his (at-Tabarani). It has a sound chain of narrators]. It has a Shahid (supporting narration) from the Hadith of Kardam reported by Ahmad.

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.

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.

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.
