Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. This listener says: Regarding the intention for fasting in Ramadan, is the intention for the entire month sufficient, or is it necessary to have the intention every night?
Answer:
Both are necessary: the general intention upon the entry of the month of Ramadan, and the daily intention, whereby one intends in every pre-dawn period that he is fasting that day. His rising from sleep and eating the pre-dawn meal indicate the intention. If he rises, eats the pre-dawn meal, and prepares for fasting, that is evidence of the intention. Yes.
