Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Nasir from Riyadh, please go ahead, Abu Nasir. And may Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you. And peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
May Allah reward you.
The questioner:
I made a vow, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good, to slaughter two animals for the sake of Allah. I said I would slaughter them, but I am not sure whether I ate from them or not, or whether I distributed them.
The Shaykh:
Yes, you slaughter them. This vow is obligatory, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 6696. This slaughter is an act of obedience to Allah the Exalted, so you must slaughter the two sheep. If you intended to eat from them, you may eat. But if you did not intend to eat from them, do not eat; distribute them and do not eat anything from them. Yes.
The questioner:
No, I did not specify, Shaykh. Whether I eat or not, I said I would slaughter, but I did not say whether I would eat or not.
The presenter:
All right, thank you.
The Shaykh:
My brother, since you did not intend, as long as you did not intend, do not eat from it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
