Question
What is the ruling on fulfilling a promise made to a Hindu, if a promise is made that does not involve going against the laws of Allaah?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.It is obligatory to fulfil
any promises that do not go against the laws of Allaah. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“And
fulfil (every) covenant. Verily, the covenant will be questioned about”
[al-Israa’ 17:34]
Whether a promise is made to a Hindu or to anybody
else it should be upheld so long as they do not go against the terms
(under which they agreed to live under Muslim rule) or do any harm to
Islam.
And
Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad
and his family and companions, and grant them peace.
