The question

Is it obligatory to fulfill a vow to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat, knowing that the vow was made out of ignorance that it is disliked (makrooh), and that the condition of the vow—which was achieving a certain profit from a deal—was not fully met? And is it permissible for the one who made the vow to eat from it if it is necessary to fulfill it?

The answer

A vow () contingent upon the occurrence of a specific event is not binding until the condition it was tied to materializes. If a vow was contingent upon a certain profit being made, and this profit was not realized, then fulfilling the vow is not obligatory, because the condition it was tied to did not occur. And making a vow is disliked (makrooh).
