The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he asked his family for food and found nothing, and then said, "In that case, I am fasting," is it understood from this that the intention must be verbalized? And what is the ruling on one who cites this as evidence for that?
The Shaykh:
No, this is not verbalizing the intention. This is an announcement that from now on he will be fasting, or it is a form of verbalizing the intention. He did not say, "I intend to fast" or "I am intending to fast." Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Therefore, if someone insults him or a sheep, let him say, "I am fasting."
