The answer

If your mother performed during , then there is nothing upon you, because you have fulfilled something better than the vowed time. This is similar to someone who vowed to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque but prayed in the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-) or the Prophet's Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi), as he performed it in a superior place. It has been narrated in an authentic that there is nothing upon him in this matter. It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said on the day of the conquest (of Mecca): "O Messenger of Allah, I vowed that if Allah grants you the conquest of Mecca, I would pray in Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis)." He (the Prophet) said: "Pray here." He asked him again, and he said: "Pray here." He asked him again, and he said: "Then do as you wish." (Narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud, and authenticated by Al-Hakim). However, if his mother refused to perform Umrah, there is also nothing upon him, because he fulfilled his part, and the refusal came from someone else.
