Continuation of the explanation of the author’s statement: “And maintaining the mention of it in all of them, and it is obligatory to maintain its ruling.”

The Shaykh : ... Do you not say that if a person intends to break his prayer, it is broken? The answer is yes. Why do you say here that if he intends to break his wudu', it is not broken? Because it is after the act. Therefore, if he intends to break the prayer after the prayer has ended, it is broken, and if not, it is not broken. Good. So we derive from this a rule: breaking the intention of an act of worship after its performance has no effect. Is that so or not? Good. The fast is a counter-argument to you: if he intends to break it during the day, it is broken.

The questioner : He did not complete the day.

The Shaykh : If he did not complete the day, it is as if he intended to break the prayer during the prayer. Good. If he intends to break the fast after sunset, it is not broken.
