Is it valid to make the fast for all the days of Ramadan with a single intention?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it valid for me to make the fast for all of Ramadan with a single intention?

Answer:
No, each day is an independent act of worship, so you must intend it before dawn for each day, because it is an independent act of worship. But note that the intention means that you are aiming to fast. If you get up and prepare the pre-dawn meal, this indicates that you have intended it. The place of the intention is the heart, so if you get up and prepare the pre-dawn meal, or sit down to eat the pre-dawn meal, this is evidence of the intention. Yes.
