Like all other worships, fasting should be accompanied by intention, i.e. one&#8217;s refraining from eating, drinking, and all other fast invalidators should be motivated by obedience to Allah&#8217;s order. Just such an aim is sufficient and there is no need to express it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To Intend Every Day or for the Whole Month<br \/>\n49. In the month of Ramadan, should we intend every day or it suffices to intend once in the beginning of the month?<br \/>\nA: It suffices to intend at the night before the first day of Ramadan to fast for a month. However, it is better (mustah\u0323abb caution) to intend every night for the next day as well.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fast Obligation Just due to Intention<br \/>\n50. My mother intended to fast the whole month but she fell sick after seven days, what should she do?<br \/>\nA: The mere intention does not make it obligatory. Therefore, in the given case, fasting is not obligatory for her.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Just to Have Fast Intention in the Mind<br \/>\n51. One intends to fast at night and sleeps with the same intention to wake up after fajr. When he wakes up, drinks some water absent-mindedly. Later, he remembers that he intended to fast last night. Is his fasting valid?<br \/>\nA: To do a fast invalidator absent-mindedly does not invalidate fasting. If he still has his previous intention \u2013 even inattentively, it is sufficient.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Source: Hadana adopted from the Istiftaat of the Grand Ayatollah Khamenei<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Like all other worships, fasting should be accompanied by intention, i.e. one&#8217;s refraining from eating, drinking, and all other fast invalidators should be motivated by obedience to Allah&#8217;s order.
