Nadhr on giving sadaqah

Question

I Kept Niya to Give a certain percentage form the profit for sadakah if a business deal worked out. A person has to give me some money and he has not returned it as yet. can say it is Hallal and deduct the ammount form that Sadaka Money ?

Answer

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If the business transaction in reference turned out to be successful, then it is necessary for you to fulfil your nadhr (vow) in giving sadaqah.[1] Your vow will not be fulfilled if you deduct the intended amount of sadaqah from the debt.[2]  

You should fulfil the nadhr in the method in which you have initially promised yourself.

And Allah Ta‘āla Knows Best

.....(قَوْلُهُ لَزِمَ النَّاذِرُ) أَيْ لَزِمَهُ الْوَفَاءُ بِهِ وَالْمُرَادُ أَنَّهُ يَلْزَمُهُ الْوَفَاءُ بِأَصْلِ الْقُرْبَةِ الَّتِي الْتَزَمَهَا لَا بِكُلِّ وَصْفٍ الْتَزَمَهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ عَيَّنَ دِرْهَمًا أَوْ فَقِيرًا أَوْ مَكَانًا لِلتَّصَدُّقِ أَوْ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَالتَّعْيِينُ لَيْسَ بِلَازِمٍ بَحْرٌ، وَتَحْقِيقُهُ فِي الْفَتْحِ

[2] اعلم ان التمليك بلفظ الصدقة كالتمليك بلفظ الهبة من حيث انها لا تصح الا بالقبض

[شرح المجلة ج٣ ص٣٩٨ مكتبه رشيدية]

قَالَ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - (وَالصَّدَقَةُ كَالْهِبَةِ لَا تَصِحُّ إلَّا بِالْقَبْضِ وَلَا فِي مَشَاعٍ يَحْتَمِلُ الْقِسْمَةَ)؛ لِأَنَّهُ تَبَرُّعٌ كَالْهِبَةِ وَيَلْزَمُ فِيهَا مَا يَلْزَمُ فِي الْهِبَةِ فَامْتَنَعَتْ بِدُونِ الْقَبْضِ كَالْهِبَةِ
