Is it possible to retract the intention to fast alternate days—an intention that was made for a long period without specification—if the fasting affects work and activity, or is this intention considered a vow that necessitates expiation?

This intention is neither a vow () nor does it require expiation (). It is permissible to abandon it and fast whatever is easy for you, as a vow does not become binding merely by intention; rather, it requires an utterance that indicates commitment.
