The Vow According to the Intention
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I work as a teacher of the Noble Qur'an in one of the associations. In the month of Ramadan, I prayed in congregation and said to myself: If any money comes to me from the people of goodness in this noble month, it is charity for the orphans. However, 600 riyals came to me, and I did not pay it to the orphans as I had vowed, because I needed this amount. Is there anything required of me?
Answer:
If that was merely a passing thought from you without a vow, then there is no blame on you. But if you vowed to Allah to give charity with what came to you for the orphans, then you must fulfill it; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2126Sahih (Darussalam). And success is from Allah.

من نذر أن يطيع الله فليطعه، ومن نذر أن يعصي الله فلا يعصه
