Question:
This questioner says: If a person vows to slaughter a sacrificial animal on the first day of the month, and the specified day arrives, but he is unable to do so because he does not have the money, is he required to fulfill it when his circumstances improve, or is it dropped from him?
Answer:
It is not dropped from him; it remains a debt upon him, so he must perform it when he is able, and he must expiate for the oath by paying the kaffarah for an oath for the time he specified having passed. Yes.
