Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu 'Abd al-Majid says: A man intended to fast to make up for Ramadan from the night after he had eaten the pre-dawn meal, but he did not manage, O Shaykh, to get up for the pre-dawn meal until Fajr had come upon him. So is he required to complete the fast for this day?
Answer:
If it is in Ramadan, he is required to complete the fast and not eat after Fajr. As for if the fast is voluntary, he has the choice: if he wishes, he continues the fast, and if he wishes, he eats. Yes.
