Is the intention for fasting made at the beginning of Ramadan or every night?

The questioner : He says: When the month of Ramadan enters, is the intention made at the beginning of the month or every night?

The Shaykh : The truth is, when some people talk about the intention and what do you know about the intention, I do not know what the meaning of the intention is? If a person gets up in the last part of the night and eats and drinks, is this not an intention?
The intention is not something that is performed and counted for; as soon as a person does the act, he has intended it, except for a madman who does not know what he is doing, or a person who is unconscious or sleeping. As for a sane person who does the act by his own choice, the mere doing of it is the intention, so there is no need for anything to be done. Some scholars even say that if Allah had obligated us to do a work without an intention, it would have been an obligation of what cannot be obeyed. And it is true that if you were told: perform wudu' and do not intend it, pray and do not intend it, fast and do not intend it, and eat and do not intend it, you would not be able to do it. The intention is something very intense; as soon as a person gets up and eats and drinks, he has intended the fast. Yes.
