Forming the intention for voluntary fasts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: If a person wants to fast the voluntary fasts, such as Mondays and Thursdays and the six days of Shawwal, is he required to form the intention during the night?
Answer:
No. That applies to the obligatory fast. The obligatory fast is the one for which it is obligatory to form the intention during the night. As for voluntary fasting, if a person reaches the morning without having eaten or drunk, and then forms the intention to fast during the day, he may do so. This is because a voluntary fast is valid with an intention made during the day, provided that he has not eaten or drunk after the dawn has appeared. Yes.
