Question:
The questioner asks: If a fasting person intends to break his fast during the day, but does not eat or drink, is his fast invalidated?
Answer:
In the obligatory fast, it is invalidated, yes. If the intention is broken during the day, the fast is invalid, because the intention must be continuous from the dawn until the sunset. As for the voluntary fast, it is not broken except by eating or drinking; it is not broken by intention alone, yes.
