The answer

Your vow to fast if that girl returns to you is a vow contingent upon the occurrence of a sin. This vow is not binding, and nothing is required of you concerning it. Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami mentioned that a vow contingent on the arrival of a person for an corrupt purpose, such as a non-mahram woman, is not binding, similar to a vow of sin. He also stated that Shaykh Zakariyya erred in disagreeing with this opinion. Strive to achieve and maintain your repentance from the forbidden relationship.
