Issue 750: Fasting is among worships and must be done for obedience to God’s order and this obedience is the intention for fasting.

Issue 751: One can make an intention, every night throughout Ramadhaan, for the fasting on the following day, and it is better to make an intention for all fasts through out Ramadhan on the first night of the month.

Issue 752: It is not necessary to pass the intention for fasting through one’s mind or to verbally pronounce, “I will go on fasting tomorrow”. It will just suffice if they decide to keep fast and avoid the things which invalidate fasts for obedience to God from the dawn Adhaan until sunset.

Issue 753: The time for making the intention for recommended fasts is from the beginning of night until the time before the following sunset which is long enough for making an intention, provided that one has not done any such things that invalidates the fast.

Issue 754: If a person sleeps before the dawn Adhaan without making any intention for fasting, their fast will only be valid if they wake up before the midday and make the intention for fasting, whether it is an obligatory or a recommended fast, and in the case of an obligatory fast, it will not be in order if they wake up after the midday time.

Issue 755: If a person intends to keep any fast other than the fasts of Remadhaan, they must specify the fast. For instance, they must make their intention for a Quadha fast or a fast to fulfill a vow; But in Ramadhaan, it is not necessary to make an intention to observe a fast, and if a person is not aware or forgets that it is the month of Ramadhaan and makes an intention to go on some other fast, it will count as a fast of Ramadhaan.

Issue 756: If a person makes their intention for fasting before the dawn Adhaan and becomes unconscious and regain their senses during the day, they must, as an obligatory precaution, complete the fast of that day, and if they do not complete it, they will have to perform the Quadha.

Issue 757: If a person makes an intention for fasting and then gets intoxicated and comes to senses during the day, they must, as an obligatory precaution, complete the fast of that day and keep the Quadha as well.

Issue 758: If a person makes an intention for fasting before the dawn Adhaan and then goes to sleep and wakes up after sunset, their fast will be valid.

Issue 759: If an ill person recovers from their illness before midday in Ramadhaan, and if they have not done any thing to invalidate the fast, they must make their intention and go on fasting, but if they recover after midday, it will not be obligatory for them to fast on that day.
