What is the ruling on moistening the lips with the tongue while fasting, and does it invalidate the fast? And is going to prayer or drinking water before Fajr considered an intention for fasting? And is it necessary to specify the prayer in the intention?
The best cure for obsessive thoughts (waswas) is to completely disregard them.
Moistening the lips with saliva and licking them does not invalidate the fast, as long as the fasting person does not intentionally swallow saliva that has left the mouth.
The intention for fasting occurs if it crosses the fasting person's mind before dawn.
It is necessary to specify the intention for a particular prayer in the heart, and for it to coincide with the Takbeerat al- (opening Allahu Akbar) or a little before it. Uttering it aloud is not legislated.
It is not a condition for ablution that a person intends to perform ablution for a specific prayer; rather, the intention to remove the impurity (رفع الحدث) is sufficient.
