When faced with a conflict between fulfilling a promise and adhering to religious obligations, a Muslim should consider the following factors to guide their decision-making:

1. _Intent_: Reflect on the intention behind the promise. Was it made with sincerity and goodwill?

2. _Obligation_: Assess the religious obligation’s importance and urgency.

3. _Consequences_: Consider the consequences of breaking the promise versus neglecting the religious obligation.

4. _Context_: Evaluate the situation’s context and any extenuating circumstances.

5. _Consultation_: Seek guidance from Islamic scholars, mentors, or trusted community leaders.

6. _Prioritization_: Prioritize obligations based on Islamic principles, such as the Five Pillars.

7. _Communication_: Openly communicate with the person to whom the promise was made, explaining the conflict and seeking understanding.

8. _Alternative solutions_: Explore alternative solutions that balance both commitments.

9. _Tawbah_ (Repentance): If the promise is broken, make amends and seek forgiveness.

10. _Ikhlas_ (Sincerity): Ensure the decision is made with sincerity and a genuine commitment to pleasing Allah.

By considering these factors, a Muslim can navigate the conflict in a way that aligns with their faith and values, prioritizing their religious obligations while also being mindful of their commitments to others.
