act, it is necessary for him to perform that act. Similarly if he makes a
covenant, without any need, that he will perform such and such good
act, the performing of that act becomes oblige tory upon him. 2677. As in the case of vow a formula should be
pronounced in the case of covenant (Ahd) as well. And what is well known
is that the covenant that one makes should be either worship like
obligatory or recommended prayers or an act whose performance is better
than its abandonment. On the basis of obligatory precaution, however, he
should perform the act for which he has made the covenant, if it is not
preferable according to religious law. 2678. If a person does not act according to the
covenant made by him, he should make an atonement for it i.e, he should
either feed sixty indigent persons or fast consecutively for two months,
or sat a slave free.
ORDERS REGARDING OATH (QASAM) 2679. If a person takes an oath that he would do
such and such act (e.g. that he will fast) or will refrain from doing
such and such act (e.g. that he will notsmoke tobacco), but does not act
according to his oath, he should make atonement for it viz. he should
set a slave free, or should feed fully ten indigent persons or
shouldprovide dress to ten indigent persons. In case, how · ever, he is
not able to perform these acts he should fast for three consecutive
days. 2680. There are certain conditions for taking an oath. They are as below:
(i) A person who takes an oath should be adult and sane and should take
oath with intention. Hence taking an oath by a child, an insane person,
an intoxicated person, or a person who has been coerced to take an oath
is not in order. And the position is the same if he takes an oath
unintentionally in a state of ; excitement.
