Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who invalidates his intention, then repents and seeks forgiveness, but did not break his fast?
Answer:
In the case of an obligatory fast, if he breaks his intention, he has broken his fast, whether he consumed something or not; breaking the intention is what matters, for fasting is based on intention. As for a voluntary fast, there is no harm; if he intends to break his voluntary fast and then says, "No, I am not breaking it," there is no harm, and his fast is valid.
The presenter:
Well done. May Allah reward you.
