Does a vow expressed in the form, "It is a vow upon me that I will not go," become void if I am then compelled to go?

A vow to stop visiting a friend is considered a vow to abstain from something permissible. Such a vow, according to the majority of scholars, is not binding and does not require fulfillment. It has also been said that it is binding, and the one who made it has the choice between fulfilling it or offering an expiation for breaking an oath.
