The Ruling on One Who Intends to Break His Fast While Traveling and Then Changes His Intention

Question:
We also move on to the question from the listener Bandar from Abha. He says: A man who is traveling and fasting in Ramadan intended to break his fast, but then he did not find anything to break his fast with, so he changed his intention and completed the fast until sunset. Is his fast valid?

Answer:
Breaking the fast and severing the intention invalidates his fasting; because it is obligatory for the intention to continue from the dawn until the sunset. As for if he did not resolve to break his fast, but then he desired what is required in his fasting and remained with his intention, this does not affect the matter. The issue of hesitation does not affect it. The discussion is about the resolution. If he resolved to sever the intention, resolved to break his fast, but after he resolved to break his fast, he did not find anything to break his fast with, then his fasting is invalid. Yes.
