It appears that the aforementioned vow is a vow of obstinacy (Nathr al-Lajaj), and the preponderant opinion concerning it is that if the one who made the vow breaks it, he has the choice between performing an expiation for an oath (kaffarat ) or fulfilling his vow. If he chooses to fulfill it, then the vow's interpretation depends on his intention. If his intention was solely regarding pornographic materials and nothing else, then nothing is incumbent upon him concerning the vow. However, he is obligated to repent from viewing all that was mentioned and from all other sins.
