A few years ago, I made a vow of giving my phone to the masjid as donation if a particular problem of mine was resolved. Later, that particular problem was resolved. However, I kept delaying giving my phone to the masjid as donation till my phone stopped functioning. Now what should I do?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
You should give the value of the phone in charity to the masjid.
