Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman woke up before the Dhuhr prayer without having intended to fast. She fasted this day as a make-up for what she owed from Ramadan. Is it sufficient for her?

Answer:
No. The obligatory fast is only valid if the intention is made at night, whether it is Ramadan, a make-up fast, an expiation, or a vow. The obligatory fast is only valid with an intention from the night. As for the voluntary fast, there is no harm in making the intention during the day, provided that she has not eaten or drunk after the dawn. Yes.
