The answer

For every obligatory fast, such as , its make-up (qada'), vows (), and expiations (), the intention () must be formed during the night, based on the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever does not determine to fast before Fajr, there is no fast for him." There is another opinion that a single intention suffices for continuous fasting, such as Ramadan and its expiation, based on the : "Deeds are only by intentions." As for non-continuous fasting, such as making up for Ramadan and the expiation for an oath (kaffarat al-), the intention must be renewed every night.
