Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A man intended to fast the tenth of Muharram while he was praying Fajr. Is that sufficient for him?
Answer:
Yes, if he has not eaten or drunk after the dawn broke, his fast for the day is valid. It is permissible to make the intention to fast during the day for a voluntary fast, provided that he has not eaten or drunk after the dawn broke. So, if he has not eaten or drunk after the dawn broke, and then he intended to fast the day of 'Ashura in the Fajr prayer or after it, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
