Issue No. 2274- A vow will be in order only if a formula is pronounced for it whether the formula is done in Arabic or in any other languages. Therefore, if a person says, “If my wish is fulfilled, it will be obligatory upon me to give a certain quantity of property to a poor person for the sake of Allah”, his vow will be in order. Even if he says, “I vow for Allah that if that wish of mine is fulfilled, I will do a certain good act”, it will be sufficient.
Issue No.1789- The parties involved in a transaction may pronounce the formula of purchase and sale in any language they know. Hence, if the seller says in English, “I have sold this property in exchange for this amount of money” and the buyer says, “I have accepted it”, the transaction is in order. The same goes for when they pronounce it with other statements that clearly express the same meaning. However, if the formula is not pronounced, but the seller hands over the commodity to the buyer with the intention of selling it to him, and the buyer also takes it with the intention of buying it, it will be sufficient, provided that all the conditions of transaction have been met.

Issue No.863- Some of the obligatory acts of prayer are foundational elements (rukn). Hence, a person who does not offer them or adds an undue one, whether intentionally or by mistake, his prayer becomes void. Some other obligatory acts of prayer are not foundational elements.

Issue No. 2280- A person may vow only acts which are possible for him to fulfil.
