Breaking a vow

Q: I had made a vow that if I do a particular sin ever again in my life I will pray so many number of Rakaats. However I am finding it difficult to fulfill the vow because I keep relapsing into the sin. May Allah help me abstain.Am I allowed to change or break the vow so I no longer have to pray those many numberof rakaats?

A: Once the vow has been taken you cannot change it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
