The Condition of Intention in Fasting

Question:
The Shaykh: A question, may you live long. Regarding fasting, is it obligatory that it be accompanied by an intention, or not? And the second thing: the time of fasting is the daytime of the fast. If a person, meaning, he wanted to break his fast and then rejected that idea and continued his fast, is there anything [wrong with that]? This is regarding the six [days of fasting]. Yes, indeed. If you were fasting the six [days], that is fine. Thank you, Abu Mish'al. Please, Shaykh.

Answer:
All types of fasting, whether obligatory or voluntary, require an intention; an intention is required. Therefore, fasting is not valid without an intention. However, the obligatory or required fast must be intended before the dawn breaks. As for the voluntary fast, it is permissible to intend it during the day, on the condition that one has not eaten, drunk, or consumed anything that breaks the fast after the dawn has broken. Yes.
