Is it permissible to intend to observe a voluntary fast after Fajr, or is there a specific time for forming the intention?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
According to the majority of scholars, it is not a condition to form the intention from the night before for a voluntary fast. It is permissible to form the intention for fasting as long as nothing that invalidates the fast, such as an
eater, has been done before that.
