The document discusses different types of vows or promises that can be made to Allah (SWT). It states that one can make it obligatory to do recommended acts or avoid disliked acts for the pleasure of Allah. One can also vow to perform good deeds if a lawful need is fulfilled. A vow is sworn by one of Allah's names and if not fulfilled after the need is met, then expiation is required such as feeding the poor, clothing the poor, freeing a slave, or fasting for consecutive days depending on the type of vow.
