The Ruling on One Who Intends to Break His Fast During the Day of Ramadan and Then Completes the Fast

Question:
This questioner says: In the Ramadan that just passed, I suffered from severe thirst on one of the days, so I intended to break my fast at the time of the midday prayer. However, I did not find water because I was in a remote place where there was no water. I did not find water until after the afternoon prayer, so I intended to complete that day, and I did not break my fast because the time for sunset was near. Do I have to make up the fast because I intended to break it?

Answer:
There is a distinction in this. If you conditioned your intention to drink on finding water, and you did not find it, then your fast is valid. But if you said, “I will break my fast, I am determined to break it,” without any condition, and then it turned out that there was no water, this invalidates your fast because you cut off the intention without any condition. Yes.
