The Ruling on Vowing to Slaughter and Distribute
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I vowed to Allah the Exalted that I would slaughter two animals for the sake of Allah if a certain matter were realized for me. This matter has been realized. Is this vow binding on me? And what should I slaughter, a ram or a goat? Please. A portion of it is given to friends.
Answer:
You slaughter what you vowed; you slaughter what you specified in the vow. If you vowed two sheep, then you slaughter two sheep or two rams from the sheep. You slaughter from the sheep and distribute it to the poor, unless you intended to eat from it and give to your friends from it, according to the intention. As for if you did not intend to eat from it and did not intend to give to your friends, then it is obligatory to distribute it all to the poor. Yes.
