The ruling on the condition of intention for fasting Ramadan every night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If the sighting of the moon is confirmed, is intention required for every night of fasting Ramadan, or is it sufficient from the beginning of the month?
Answer: This is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and the correct view is that intention is necessary; because each day is an independent act of worship, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So each day is an independent act of worship. Yes.
The presenter: Regarding people's actions for fasting, for example, the pre-dawn meal, is that sufficient, or is it also necessary to form the intention until ...?
The Shaykh: As long as he knows that he will fast tomorrow, it is sufficient, whether at the beginning of the night, in the middle of it, or at the end of it. As long as he knows that he will fast tomorrow, he has intended it.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.

Actions are only by intentions
