The Ruling on Breaking the Fast for the Sake of an Exam During the Daytime of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who wants to break his fast on a day in Ramadan because he has an exam from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon?

Answer:
If he intends to break his fast, he has broken it, because he has cut off the intention. The condition for the obligatory fast is the continuity of the intention. If he intends to break his fast and cut off the fast, his fast becomes invalid. That is, if he intends to break his fast during the day and then says, "I will complete my fast," we say it is over; your fast is gone because you cut off the intention. Fasting is abstention accompanied by intention. You cut off the intention, so your fast is gone. You must make it up. However, you should continue to abstain for the rest of the day out of respect for the time, and the making up of the fast is obligatory upon you. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
