A man who vows to sacrifice a camel or a cow

Abu Hilal said: My mother vowed that if she saw a hair on my face she would slaughter a camel (badanah), or he said: a sacrificial animal (hady). He said: The people of the neighbourhood used to slaughter cows. I came to Shurayh and asked him about it, and he treated the two as equal (i.e. both are the same).

Ata was asked about a man who vows: "It is binding on me to slaughter a camel for the poor." He said: A cow will also suffice for him.
