Combining the Sacrifice of a Vow with the Wedding Feast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I vowed that if I were accepted into the Islamic University, I would slaughter a cow. Now I have been accepted, and I am about to get married. I want to combine the wedding feast with fulfilling the vow by slaughtering two animals on my wedding day. Am I required to inform people that one of the animals is for fulfilling the vow?
Answer:
No. The vow is for itself, and fulfilling the vow is for itself. Do not mix it with the wedding. Fulfill the vow. Fulfill the vow. If you are able, carry out the vow, whether you get married or not. The wedding has no connection to it. Yes.
