Transferring the place of slaughtering a vowed sacrifice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Regarding a vow, if I specified a particular place for it, but due to the difficulty of doing so, I want to slaughter the animal in my house now, in this city of mine. Is it permissible to move it?

Answer:
If you vowed it in a specific place that contains no religious prohibition, then it is obligatory for you to carry it out in the place you intended and specified in your vow. This is because a man vowed to slaughter camels at Bawana, which is the name of a place, and he came to seek the ruling of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about the place
Was there an idol in it that was worshipped, meaning in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance? They said, No. He said, Was there a festival among the festivals of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance where they would gather and give it special distinction? They said, No. He said, Then fulfill it there.هل كان فيه وثن يعبد يعني في الجاهلية؟ قالوا لا، قال هل كان فيه عيد من أعياد الجاهلية يجتمعون فيه ويخصونه؟ قالوا لا، قال أوف بنا ذلك
This indicates that the place in which one vowed to slaughter is fixed, unless something prevents it from being done there. Yes.
