One Who Is Unable to Fulfill a Vow

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This man from Oman asks: If one is unable to fulfill a vow, does he have to pay an expiation?

Answer:
It remains a debt on him until he is able to fulfill it. If he vowed to fast so much or to give so much in charity, it remains a debt on him until he is able to fulfill it; it remains a debt.
