This is the question segment.
The Shaykh:
Why?
The questioner:
The questioner says: If a person sleeps on the night of the thirtieth of Sha'ban with the intention that if tomorrow is Ramadan, he will fast, and he does not wake up until after the sun has risen, and it is then confirmed that the day is from Ramadan, does the intention suffice for him?
The Shaykh:
Because this is a conditional intention, and on the day of doubt, fasting is not obligatory. Yes.
