A vow to slaughter a sheep: Is it permissible to give its price in charity?

The questioner : Hello. Yes. Hello, peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.

The questioner : If you please, my Shaykh, I am asking. I have a vow. I have a vow. I vowed that I would slaughter a sheep.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : And, do I have a brother who needs this money?

The Shaykh : For what reason? For what reason?

The questioner : For, for, for the fact that I would slaughter a sheep.

The Shaykh : The reason, the reason. Okay, why did you vow to slaughter a sheep?

The questioner : I asked for success, and Allah made me successful.

The Shaykh : Meaning, you made a vow that if you succeeded, you would slaughter a sheep.

The questioner : So, and I, I think, my brother.

The Shaykh : Give it in charity? Yes. Do you want to give it in charity?

The questioner : I want to give it in charity to my brother because he is in need of it.

The Shaykh : Slaughter the sheep and give it to your brother.

The questioner : Is it permissible for me to give it in charity and not slaughter the sheep?

The Shaykh : No, no, no. Slaughter the sheep and give it to your brother in charity.

The questioner : Because he needs the money, he needs the cash.

The Shaykh : Why did you not vow money? You vowed a sheep, may Allah bless you. Why did you not vow money in the first place?

The questioner : No, he is in need because he is sick and needs the money.

The Shaykh : I am telling you, slaughter the sheep and give it to your brother.

The questioner : He is far from me, outside, in my country, in my country.

The Shaykh : If I go to him, if Allah wills, I will slaughter the sheep and give it to him.

The questioner : Okay, thank you very much.
