The ruling on the fasting of a person who intended to fast from Dhuhr and did not consume anything that breaks the fast from Fajr
Regarding the fasting of the six days of Shawwal, a person did not consume anything that breaks the fast until Dhuhr—for example—and did not intend to fast until after Dhuhr. Is this considered permissible, and is his fast considered valid, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say? , and what did he say? Now, apply these two hadiths to a man who intended to fast at Dhuhr, having not done anything that breaks the fast before that, and intended this to be the first day of the six. How many days does he fast after it?The questioner: Five days.
The Shaykh: How many days did he actually fast, based on the two hadiths?The questioner: Five and a half days.
The Shaykh: Can it be said that he fasted six days of Shawwal?The questioner: No.
The Shaykh: The answer is finished.
Therefore: The day he intended to fast becomes a purely voluntary fast, for which a person is rewarded, if Allah wills, from the time he intended it, and he fasts six days after it.
