Question:
Is it permissible for the one who made the vow to eat from the charity he vowed?
Answer:
No, if he vowed charity, it is not permissible for him to eat from it, because if he eats from it, he will not fulfill what he ate; it becomes deficient, and the fulfillment becomes deficient. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: "They fulfill their vows," and fulfilling a vow means completing it, completing the entire vow. So if he eats from it, he has not completed it, unless he made an exception. If he made an exception and said, "I will eat from it," then he is entitled to what he excepted.
