The answer

Whoever vows a fast conditional upon something happening, the fast is not binding upon them except when the condition is fulfilled. If they fast before that, it is considered a supererogatory act. A vowed fast is a physical act of worship that cannot be hastened, unlike financial acts of worship such as charity and . Therefore, your fasting before the exam results appeared is not sufficient, and you must fast the nine days of Dhul-Hijjah next year.
