Is a vow to walk to one's mother's grave to visit her, provided its condition is met, invalid and requires expiation by fasting three days, due to its contradiction with the Prophetic Hadith: "Journeys are not undertaken except to three mosques: Al-Masjid Al-Haram, Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, and the Mosque of the Messenger"?
It is obligatory to visit the mother's grave, but it is not obligatory to walk to it. An expiation for an oath is due for not walking.
