Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A girl vowed that if she got a job, she would give a specific amount of her salary, yes? She says: May Allah reward you. A girl vowed that if she got a job, she would give a specific amount of her salary, and then she got the job. After a while, she needed the amount she vowed to give. How can she get out of this vow without sin?

Answer:
The vow remains a debt in her conscience. It remains a debt in her conscience until she is able to pay it, because it is a debt to Allah the Exalted in her conscience. So if she cannot pay it at that time, it remains a debt in her conscience until the time when she can. Yes.
