Whoever vows to slaughter an animal but does not specify its type, then what is sufficient for him is the minimum that is acceptable for a sacrifice (), which is a sheep that has completed one year and entered its second, or a goat that has completed two years. This is because a vow is interpreted to mean the minimum obligation of its kind. Therefore, the age and soundness requirements for the udhiyah apply.
