The Shaykh : He said: A woman vowed that if Allah the Exalted granted her a male child, she would slaughter a sacrificial animal every year. She was granted a child, praise be to Allah, and she slaughtered four animals for four years in advance. I mean, yes, yes?
The questioner : For four years that have passed.
The Shaykh : She says that she slaughtered four animals for four years.
The questioner : That have passed.
The Shaykh : Yes, that have passed, but it has become difficult for her. What should she do?
It appears that her intention was that this was a way of thanking Allah for the blessing of this child. Therefore, she must slaughter if she is able, and if she is unable, it is dropped from her.
