Is it permissible to pay the vowed amount to poor relatives in Somalia instead of to the Lebanese for whom the amount was originally vowed?

The sister who asked the question is permitted to disburse the vowed charity to her brothers in Somalia instead of the people of Lebanon, taking the opinion of scholars who allowed this, because the obligation of the vow is tied to the charity itself. Nevertheless, it is more cautious and better for her conscience to disburse it to the people of Lebanon, whom she specified in her vow, because some scholars prohibited disbursing a vow to those not specified.
