Question
If i made intention to donate money to poor kids in Gaza if a certain dua happened. And Allah answered the dua, now i think i wanna donate half the amount to kids in Gaza and the other half to a woman i know who is a single mom and poor and has a young kid. Can i split the money 50-50 or does all the money have to go to Palestine as i intended?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedYour vow was a conditional pledge that if your dua was fulfilled, you would give charity to poor children in Gaza, and since Allah accepted the dua, then according to the Hanafi school, the obligation of the vow is simply to give charity. Restricting it specifically to Gaza’s children is not strictly necessary; it may be given to poor people in general. Therefore, you may give half the amount to the children of Gaza and half to the poor single mother, since both are needy, and the vow will be fulfilled. However, as a precaution, giving priority to the original intended cause is better.
