Eating from the Vow and Distributing It
A mother vowed a vow: if the Lord of the Worlds grants her a child and this child grows up and starts walking in the street, she will slaughter an animal and distribute it to the poor and needy. Is it permissible for her to eat from this animal or to feed her married children from it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The vow should be made purely for the sake of God Almighty, and only the poor should eat from it. It is not permissible for the one who made the vow or his children and their children to eat from it. And God knows best.
