The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man vowed that if Allah blessed so-and-so with a child, he would slaughter a camel for Allah the Exalted. After his death, Allah blessed this so-and-so with a child. Is it obligatory for the deceased's guardians to fulfill his vow after his death?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
A man vowed that if Allah blessed so-and-so with a child, he would slaughter a camel for Allah the Exalted. After the death of this one who made the vow, Allah blessed so-and-so with the child. Is it obligatory for the deceased's guardians to fulfill the vow of their father who passed away?
The Shaykh:
What appears to me is that it is obligatory for them. What appears to me is this, because his objective was not achieved, which was to be blessed with a child while he was alive. Yes.
