Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The brother Abu 'Abd al-Rahman sent a set of questions. He says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, may Allah keep you safe. A person was hit with a financial crisis, so he vowed that if Allah relieved him of it, he would slaughter seven camels. Allah did relieve him of it, but he was unable to fulfill this vow all at once. Does he slaughter them one after another, or does he wait until he gathers the amount for all of them, then slaughter them all together?

Answer:
If he intended to slaughter them all together, he must slaughter them all together, so he waits until he has the money to slaughter them all at once. If he did not intend continuity and did not make it a condition, he may slaughter them, even if they are scattered. Yes.
