What is the ruling regarding a woman who vowed to pray Salat al-Tasabih daily with the intention that her future husband would pray it with her, but then she was unable to fulfill this vow every day due to fatigue or weakness? Is expiation or making up for these missed days obligatory upon her, and is it permissible for her to also intend it as a Qiyam al-Layl prayer?

The statement "Inshallah (God willing), I will pray this prayer (Salat al-Tasabih) every day" is not a vow that must be fulfilled, because a vow requires a clear verbal commitment and should not be conditional on God's will. It is recommended to perform Salat al-Tasabih frequently due to its immense virtue.
