The answer

A vow that brings no benefit and prevents no harm is disliked, yet it must be fulfilled, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him." If the husband intended by his vow merely the occurrence of pregnancy, he must complete his fasting. However, if he intended a child, he is not obligated to complete the fasting.
