Day Questions

If somebody pledges an oath on the Holy Quran that he will only smoke during one day a week, and that person encounters strong difficulties in trying to uphold that oath, does the oath becomes annulled?

It is not required to fulfill such an oath unless it sworn on Almighty Allah or His names. It is not obligatory to fulfill the oaths on other sanctified things like the Holy Quran and the Ka’bah. Generally, we advise you to decrease making oaths.

Is it permissible to say, "I am a slave of Ali and Fatima"? Is it right to use the word "slave" here?

Yes, it is permissible to do so in a figurative sense, out of great respect and without intending the reality of slavery, as it is only to Almighty Allah.
