I vowed that if I learned to read the Qur'an from the mushaf, I would slaughter a sacrificial animal for the sake of Allah the Exalted

The first question of Fatwa No. ( 18960 )
Q1: When I was thirty years old, I began learning to read from the mushaf, and it was extremely difficult for me. I made a vow to Allah the Exalted, saying: "If I learn to read the Noble Qur'an from the mushaf and become able to read it, I will slaughter a sacrificial animal for the sake of Allah the Exalted." I did not stipulate any conditions in it; I did not specify a time or a place. Now, praise and thanks be to Allah, I am able to read the Noble Qur'an from the mushaf at a moderate level. I ask you, Your Eminence, to issue a ruling on whether I am obligated to fulfill my vow, and how I should fulfill it. May Allah reward you.
A1: You are obligated to fulfill the aforementioned vow, because it is a vow of obedience, and it is obligatory to fulfill it, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 2126Sahih (Darussalam) . You should slaughter the sacrificial animal and distribute it to the poor.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
