Intention to make up fasts after the dawn has appeared

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person says: I have fasts to make up from Ramadan, and I wanted to make them up, but I did not form the intention until after the Fajr prayer. Is his action valid?

Answer:
No, it is not valid. Obligatory fasting, such as fasting Ramadan, making up fasts, expiation fasts, and vow fasts—every obligatory fast requires that the intention be formed before the dawn appears. The hadith is:
There is no fast for the one whoلا صيام لمن لم
Sunan Ibn Majah 1700Da’if (Darussalam)
One must form the intention during the night. Forming the intention after the dawn appears is only valid for voluntary fasting, provided that one has not consumed anything that breaks the fast after the dawn. This is valid for voluntary fasting. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
