Ask an Alim

Did I backed(Wada Khilafi) ?

Q:

I currently live in a hostel. I talked to another hostel owner to book a room. He kept a room for me for over 4 days and he denied other people who wanted that room. Now in the morning, the current hostel warden showed me another room with fewer charges and I decided to stay in the current hostel and not to shift.
Now if I stay did I break a promise (wada khilafi), I am feeling extremely guilty and I am starting to worry about my beliefs because of the backing.
Can I just say sorry and give some fine, will that level what I have done?

A:

As-salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Thanks for your question

Since he kept the room for you and rejected other customers, it would be good to do istighfar, apologize to him and give him something as a fine, inshaAllah that will level it.
