Vowing to Perform Qurbaani

Q: What is the shar’i ruling regarding a person who took a vow that if a certain work is accomplished, he will perform Qurbaani. Will there be any difference in the ruling between a rich or poor person?

A: Qurbaani will become waajib upon him if the work is accomplished irrespective of whether he is rich or poor. However, the rich person will be required to slaughter two qurbaanis; one on behalf of the vow and the other on behalf of the waajib qurbaani.

ولو نذر أن يضحي شاة وذلك في أيام النحر وهو موسر فعليه أن يضحي بشاتين عندنا شاة بالنذر وشاة بإيجاب الشرع ابتداء إلا إذا عنى به الإخبار عن الواجب عليه فلا يلزمه إلا واحدة ولو قبل أيام النحر لزمه شاتان بلا خلاف لأن الصيغة لا تحتمل الإخبار عن الواجب إذ لا وجوب قبل الوقت وكذا لو كان معسرا ثم أيسر في أيام النحر لزمه شاتان اه (رد المحتار 6/320)
