Is it permissible for me to take what my friend vowed for me if I know what he is hiding in his hand?

What the questioner mentioned is not a legally recognized vow (), for a vow is when a legally responsible person obligates himself to Allah for something that is not otherwise obligatory. What he mentioned is closer to a promise, and fulfilling it is commendable (mustahabb). So, there is no blame upon thewer if he takes what his friend offers him.
