The Ruling on Fulfilling a Vow With the Money of Another

Question :

I vowed to sacrifice three sheep if I was blessed with a child. Then a righteous person gave me a thousand Riyals as a charity. Is it permissible for me to buy the three. sheep with that money in order to fulfill my oath, although it is not from my own personal money, but charity from that man? May Allah reward you with goodness.

Answer:

There is no objection to this, because when he gave you the money and you accepted it, it became your money. If you bought the sheep with it, you will have fulfilled your obligation, all praise and thanks be to Allah. But we advise you not to make vows, because it is undesirable to do so; the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Do not make vows, for no good comes of it; it is only a means by which something is removed from the miserly."
