Question:
If a person intends to fast before sleeping, and then breaks his fast in the morning, does he have to make up that day for which he intended to fast? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If it is voluntary, he does not have to make it up. The one who fasts voluntarily is at his option; if he wishes, he continues his fast, which is better, and if he wishes, he breaks his fast, for he is at his option. As for obligatory fasting, it is not permissible to break it. It is not permissible to break obligatory fasting once one has entered into it and begun the fast, if it is obligatory, he must complete it. Yes.
