عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ كَرْدَمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهَا كَرْدَمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ نَذْرٍ نُذِرَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلِوَثَنٍ أَوْ لِنُصُبٍ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ فَأَوْفِ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَا جَعَلْتَ لَهُ انْحَرْ عَلَى بُوَانَةَ وَأَوْفِ بِنَذْرِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Kardam bin Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a vow made during the days of ignorance. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Was it for any idol or stone? He replied: No, rather it was for Allah Almighty. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then fulfill it for Allah Almighty; whatever you have specified, sacrifice it at Buwana and thus fulfill your vow.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Making a vow (nadhar) to slaughter in the name of Allah Ta’ala is praiseworthy. From this hadith, it is understood that for a commendable vow, specifying a location is permissible, but it should not be a place that entails any resemblance to the polytheists (mushrikeen).
