How to Form the Intention for Fasting Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is about how to form the intention for fasting Ramadan: is it with a single intention, or is it for each day?

Answer:
The intention for fasting Ramadan is made in a general sense. The Muslim intends that he will fast the month of Ramadan; this is a general intention. However, a specific intention is required, which is the intention to fast for each day before dawn. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
There is no fast for the one who does not intendلا صيام لمن لم يجمع
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2336Sahih (Darussalam)
The intention is from the night. Therefore, a renewed intention is needed for each day before dawn. Yes.
