The Ruling on Intending to Fast the Month on the First Night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: Is the intention for fasting the month sufficient if made on its first night?
The Shaykh:
It is necessary to have two intentions: a general intention that he is fasting the month of Ramadan, intending this and resolving to do it, and a specific intention for each day, because each day is an independent act of worship that requires renewing the intention. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
If he gets up, look, if he gets up for the pre-dawn meal, this is proof that he intended, or not? It is not necessary for him to say, "I intend," if he gets up for the pre-dawn meal. And who is it that eats the pre-dawn meal except the one who fasts? This is proof of the presence of the intention. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
