Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner, 'Umar, says that he made a vow that if he found a job, he would slaughter a camel for his family. He says that due to his limited means and financial hardship, he did not fulfill it, and now more than three years have passed since he found the job.
Answer:
As for one who vows to do something permissible, such as slaughtering an animal for his family, this is permissible. He is given the choice between fulfilling the vow and paying the expiation for an oath. Yes.
