What is the ruling on a vow that was made to refrain from looking at unlawful things, and do the two mentioned cases necessitate a vow? Is it permissible to annul a vow by delaying it, and what is its expiation? Can it be canceled by the parents' prohibition without me disclosing its wording to them?

Furthermore, the cancellation of a vow due to the prohibition of one of the parents is not something that any of the Sunnis have asserted.
