What is the ruling regarding excess money remaining from a vow to provide iftar for a fasting person for 30 days, after fulfilling the vow?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basis of vows is the intention of the one making the vow. If you did not intend to donate both salaries in full, but rather to feed thirty fasting people from them, then you are not obligated to donate the remainder of the salary after feeding the number you vowed.
