Q: If one makes a nadhr for Allah of paying some money while one has due debts, which should be advanced?

A: If the nadhr is taken regarding specified money, one should fulfill the nadhr using the same money and settle one’s debts from the remaining amount unless the nadhr is taken to escape paying one’s debts to the people.

But, if he/she makes a nadhr to spend some money (in general) for the sake of Allah, he/she has to pay off the debts first, and then fulfill the nadhr using the rest if any; otherwise, he/she is liable for nothing.
