The ruling on making a vow regarding oneself with wealth in case of negligence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says: I make many vows, and I vow not to disobey Him, then I disobey Him, and financial matters result from my vow, such as when I say: I vow that if I do such-and-such, I will pay five hundred riyals.

Answer:
This is treated as an oath; it is not a vow, but is treated as an oath, because you intend to prevent [the act]; you intend prevention by it, so it is treated as an oath. Therefore, you owe the expiation for an oath for this vow. Yes.
