It is not required to make the intention during the night for fasting the six days of Shawwal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If a Muslim wakes up before the midday prayer and intends to fast the six days of Shawwal, is his intention valid from the daytime for these six days?

Answer:
Yes, the rule for voluntary fasting is that it is valid with an intention made during the day, and nothing has been excluded from voluntary fasting, neither the six days nor anything else. Whoever claims that the six days have a special status and that one must make the intention from the dawn must provide us with evidence for this. Yes.
