Taking an oath to not eat lunch
Question:-
I took a Qasm not to eat lunch today. Will my oath be fulfilled if I eat after Maghrib Salaah and again after Esha Salaah?
Answer:-
In our context lunch is generally eaten around midday, whilst supper is eaten after sunset. Therefore, if you eat after Maghrib and Esha, it will be considered as supper, hence, your oath will be fulfilled.
