The ruling on the fasting of one who slept through the pre-dawn meal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. A caller from Riyadh, whose name is Nūn al-Fā Mīm, says that he ate dinner at approximately twelve o’clock on one of the blessed nights of Ramadan, then slept afterwards and did not wake up until after the dawn. Is the fast valid? He says he heard that it is necessary to make the intention during the night.
Answer:
He intended to fast during the night, but he only slept through the pre-dawn meal. Otherwise, he was asleep from the entry of Ramadan, and he was asleep knowing that he would fast the next day. So his fast is valid, if Allah wills, as long as he did not eat or drink after the dawn had appeared. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
