The answer

The ruling regarding paying money upon performing ghusl (ritual bath): the questioner is not obligated to pay anything, as long as it was not issued in the form of a binding vow (nadhr). Such a formulation, if it occurred to prevent oneself from doing something, is considered a "vow of obstinacy" (nadhr lajaj), and its violation only requires an expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat yamin).
