Is specifying the intention during the night specific to the obligatory fast, or does it include the voluntary fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
There is no fast for the one whoلا صيام لمن لم
Sunan Ibn Majah 1700Da’if (Darussalam)
, he specifies the intention during the night. Does this include the voluntary fast, or is it specific to the obligatory fast only?

Answer:
This is specific to the obligatory fast only, as evidenced by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted the voluntary fast during the day, starting the voluntary fast in the daytime. So the voluntary fast is broader than the obligatory fast. Yes.
