The ruling on the intention for conditional fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: A man is ill with diabetes and intends that if it is from Ramadan, he is fasting. Is his intention and fast valid, or must he make it up?
Answer:
No, this is not valid. The jurists hold that if one says, “If this is the night of the vow, then it is from Ramadan; otherwise, it is voluntary,” the jurists hold that this does not negate the vow, nor does it suffice for his obligation. If he says, “If tomorrow is from Ramadan, it is long,” it does not suffice, as they stated, because the intention requires certainty; there must be no hesitation in it.
