Question:
In another question, the questioner says: I was ill and I made a vow upon myself, specifying it, but I forgot whether it was from sheep or goats. I want to fulfill my vow, so what should I do?
Answer:
You have to slaughter it. A goat or a sheep suffices for you. If you bring out a sheep from the goats or the sheep, that is sufficient. It should be like the 'udhiyah (sacrifice), meaning a sheep that is valid and has no defects, like the 'udhiyah. You slaughter it and distribute it to the poor.
