Question

I have a made a wrong promise in angar. Me and my husband had a fight and I was angry and I promised myself that I will not go out with him ever and if I go I will see my child dead. It was a very big mistake I did. I want to know what should be done about this.

Answer

The promise is not binding.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
