Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I vowed that if Allah granted me offspring, I would slaughter an animal for Allah. I specified the price of the sacrificial animal and stipulated that no one from my family should eat from it. Allah granted me offspring, and I was afraid of violating the stipulation, so I bought the sacrificial animal for more than the specified amount. My family ate a portion of this sacrificial animal, and that did not exceed the amount I had specified when I made the vow. Do I owe anything?
Answer:
Yes, you must give in charity meat equal to the amount your family ate. You must give in charity meat equal to the meat your family ate from the vow, so that you are absolved of the obligation. Yes.
