Is it permissible to fulfill a vow in installments, or must it be paid in full at once?
Whoever suspends their vow upon the occurrence of an event, and it occurs, is obligated to fulfill it according to what they vowed. The questioner has fulfilled their vow by performing it in two installments, and there is nothing against them if they were unable to fulfill it immediately, or even if they were able, based on the opinion of many scholars who believe that fulfilling a vow can be done at leisure (not necessarily immediately). It should be noted that a suspended vow is disliked, and some have said it is forbidden.
