Q: I previously made a vow before my academic exams in the year 95, saying: “If Allah grants me success and I pass, I will slaughter an animal,” and I did not specify the type of animal in those words. The circumstances have not allowed me to fulfill this vow up to the present time, although I have been granted success by Allah. I hope for your ruling.
A: If the matter is as you described, it is obligatory for you to fulfill the vow. What suffices for fulfilling this vow is what suffices for the 'Id sacrifice, namely a sheep or a goat. the verse. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
