Ruling on specifying the intention in making up fasts from Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q463: The questioner says: A man had to make up days from several Ramadans, and he made them up, praise be to Allah, but when making them up, he did not specify his intention, whether it was for the previous Ramadan or the one before that?
A463: Specification is necessary; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1 . So he intends the month from which he is fasting these days, and he arranges the making up, the first Ramadan, then the one after it, then the one after that, and so on. This is necessary.
A463: Specification is necessary; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.
إنما الأعمال بالنيات، وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
