The ruling on the one who made a vow and his family eating from the vow

The questioner:
We are connected with 'Abd al-Karim. Please, my dear brother. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.

The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.

The presenter:
I have one question for the Shaykh. Raise your voice a little, Karim.

The questioner:
My question, may you live long, is that my mother, may Allah preserve her and prolong her life, vowed after graduating from university to slaughter me, and it has been about three years now, and she now wants to fulfill her vow. The question is: what is best? Should she give it in charity, or should she invite the relatives to eat from it? And is there anything required of her for the delay?

The Shaykh:
It depends on her intention. If she intended it for the poor and the needy, it is obligatory for her to give it entirely to the poor and the needy, and she must not eat anything from it. But if she did not intend it for the poor and the needy, and did not intend it for anyone, there is no harm in her eating from it and feeding those around her, and giving charity to the poor from it. Yes.
