# One may annul a Neder (Hatarat Nedarim) on Shabbat, if it's preventing him from performing something he'd like to do on Shabbat, regardless of whether or not he had time to annul it before Shabbat. Such actions include drinking or eating in general, drinking wine and eating meat and bread in particular, and sleeping on Shabbat. Even to allow oneself to wear his Shabbat finest is permissible.<ref>Magen Avraham 341:1, Pri Megadim Eshel Avraham ad loc, Kaf HaChaim 341:5</ref> However, if the item is not necessary for Shabbat, one may not annul the Neder. At the same time, a husband or father<ref>Pri Megadim Eshel Avraham 341:1, Kaf HaChaim 341:8</ref> may revoke his wife Nedarim (Hafarat Nedarim) without restriction, because he only has until sunset of the day he hears of them.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 341:1</ref>

# Even a Neder LeTzorech Mitzvah, unrelated to Shabbat, may be annulled on Shabbat.<ref>See Pri Megadim Mishbetzot Zahav 341:1 who attempts to identity the exact Issur DeRabbanan at hand from two different statements of the Levush: either just a matter of why do it today when you can do it tomorrow or Mimtzo Cheftzecha. Practically, a Neder against a Mitzvah unrelated to Shabbat would be permissible if it was the latter. He concludes stringently, but the Mishnah Berurah 341:1 and Kaf HaChaim 341:3 cite the Chayei Adam who is lenient regardless of reasoning. Similarly, the Rama (Orach Chaim 619:1) recommends reciting Kol Nidrei before Yom Kippur begins, as the Mishnah Berurah (419:5) elucidates, because it's similar to Hatarat Nedarim. The Chida (Tov Ayin 18:71) points out that this is different from Cherem HaKehillot mentioned in Orach Chaim 341:3 but the Kaf HaChaim 341:17 writes that some disagree. See Kaf HaChaim 619:1, Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim p. 263), and Dirshu 341 fn. 2.</ref>
