A Vow Conditioned on a Requirement, If the Requirement Is Not Met

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if I make a vow to fast for three days on the condition that a certain matter is realized, and if that matter is not realized, is it obligatory for me to fulfill the vow?

Answer:
No, this is a conditional vow. If the condition is met, fulfilling it becomes obligatory; if it is not met, he owes nothing. Yes.
