- Dr. Zakir: As far as the intentions is concerned as I mentioned earlier that intention is a Fard and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws) said,
Its mentioned in Sunan Nasai in the Book of Fasting Hadith no. 2331 our beloved Prophet said
"A person's fast is not accepted if he does not make an intention in the previous night."
That means for all the Fard fasting compulsory fasting making intention the previous night is compulsory, it can be any part of the previous night; it can even be till as late as just before the Fajr time. Anytime of the night you can make the intention. A person can make an intention ion the beginning of Ramadhaan and it can be valid for the full month of Ramadhaan unless it he breaks it if he is sick or if he is traveling then he has to again make an intention but one intention is also sufficient and many people think they have a misconception that verbally saying it aloud is a must which is not a requirement. I don't have to say verbally that I intend to fast because my intention, neeya is from the heart.
For example if I get up late in the night much before Fajr time for fasting suppose my son when we have got up to do our Suhoor late in the night and my son asks me that why have you got up? I will tell him because we have to fast! It's already understood. The neeya is there, I don't have to say that I have got up to fast. The neeya is there so aeeya is important, neeya is in the heart. You don't have to say it with your tongue that's what most of the people think and I don't know of any Hadith which says that the Prophet or the Sahabas they ever said loudly that I intend to fast. Intention is in the heart and one intention is sufficient for the full month of Ramadhaan unless as I said its broken but this in only for the Fard fast.
For a voluntary fast, fast which is not a Fard fast intention is not a Fard because there is a Hadith again mentioned in
Sunan Nasai, in the Book of Fasting, Hadith no. 2323
"Once the Prophet, he tells his wife that I want food to eat, the wife said there is no food to eat. So he said okay I am fasting"
That means his intention was not there before, in the previous night, he made it on the stop. He abstained from before dawn but his intention was afterwards, in the morning so for the voluntary fast it's not compulsory to be made early the previous night except that it is a very important voluntary fast like Shura, the 10th of Muharram, Ash-Sura or it can be the day of Arafat. It's preferable to make the intention before berceuse it's a very important fast.
For all the other voluntary fast, it's not compulsory to be made before previous night. For the neeya there are other 3 things which are very important one thing, if its by force, and if something is broken then it can be forgiven or by error or by forgetfulness.
As Allah says in the Quran in Surah Nahl ch. no. 16 verse no. 106 that after a person has believed then if he does something of unbelief, does something of Kufr except by force that means if he does something by force even Kufr or Shirk, Allah will forgive.
So if someone forces a person to break the fast, his Neeya wasn't there, he can be forgiven.
And Allah says in Surah Baqarah ch. no. 2 verse no. 286 that
"O Lord please do not catch us, please do not hold us responsible when we err, when we make a mistake or when we forget"
So if a person in his forgetfulness breaks his fast like have water, Allah will forgive him or if because of a mistake, Allah will forgive him which we shall deal later InshaAllah.

The intention for Fast is the person getting up in the middle of the night and doing Sehar
Even if you don't get up for suhoor. It is only a sunnah. Niyya is not getting up and eat, niyya is in the heart.
Jazakumullah khairan
May you get awarded highly ustadh ❤️❤️
The neeyah is for the next day so do we recite the same neeyah for the current day or do we recite a different neeyah?
Sir Explain the Intantion for Prayer is saying in wording is compulsory ?
Can i keep 1 fasting with 2 niyah.. Like if i keep fasting on thursday (nafil and ramdan mising fast thats farz) niyath...
so i need confirmation, i forgot to like say/think the proper niyyah to fast but i did wake up for suhoor to fast. does me waking up for suhoor count as my intention?
Yes
He said you don’t need to say it out loud and making the intention to fast all of ramadan once in the beginning is enough unless you have to not fast for a certain time then you start fasting again you would have to make the intention to fast again but you still don’t need to do it out loud just thinking it is enough
I forgot to say my intention, during FAJR I remembered so I stopped my prayer and said the intention. Will my fast be accepted?
Does making niyyah in the heart mean that you need to specifically 'formulate' the intention within yourself (like a sentence)?
If not necessarily, then isn't a fasting person by default already fulfilling the intention criteria? Because how can the act of fasting exist without the person deciding to do it in the first place?
Making it super easy can be by simply bringing into our heart before the first suhoor of Ramadan that i'll In sha Allah fast for a whole month and may Allah ease everything for me, I believe we've done our job then
Hi everyone I have a question...lets say i recite the dua/prayer of starting the fast and then I realize there is enough time left to start stop eating and start the fast, I drink or eat something, and then again later I make dua/prayer to start the fast.... would this invalidate my fast ??
Can someone explain when he said we Need to make inteninton some days and some not?
If you intentionally carry on eating for 10 minutes after suhoor as you never had enough time to eat, will the fast still be valid?
If you were eating during suhoor and you hear the Azan, you can continue eating until you finish your food but if you already hear the Azan and you weren't eating at the moment, I don't think you can eat intentionally.
@@kimi2935 Okay Thank you
@@dripclan457 by finish your food. It means the food in your mouth not the rest of your food
NOoooooOOOO
No, it would not count. You stop eating and take out anything in your mouth and Allah knows best.
Please some one tell me that you don’t know that tomorrow is roza but you I eat something at 3:00 am and tomorrow you know that this is roza and you say ka now is my roza
Please
So the roza is possible
@@fatimasworld9407did you have the intention to fast that day??
i have a question, if i get up for suhur, had suhur and forget to do the niyah (intension) will my fasting be valid? will my getting up for suhur count as an intension?
Nafis Al Rafi bro the moment you woke up for suhur u already have the intention.Why did you wake up for suhur? Obviously because you intent to fast tomorrow. :)
Yea just like he said ... u waking in midnight (suhur) to eat means you have intention to fast... this is your Niyyah. Verbally saying it doesn't matter
Hello can someone tell me please. Today I got up for suhoor had my food with an intention that am going to fast today it was around 3.20.. then later I slept without doing fajr (it wasn't intentionally done).. will my fast be accepted??? Kindly anyone tell me please
Yes. Missing Fajr does not invalidate the fast. You must make up for ASAP though. You were awake the night before and intended to fast. Having Sahur is the proof of your intention.
@@BeatsV123 suhur is sunnah it isn't mandatory
How do u make an intention
In your heart that you are going to keep a fast in the next hour or day
Just have it in your thoughts, i. e. if someone were to ask you "what are you doing", you should be ready without any thinking to reply "I'm about to fast/I'm preparing to fast/etc." That is enough even if that thought lasts just for a moment. The same applies to intentions for prayer, qurban and so on, although in that case [I believe the following is correct, but I am not sure] the intention should be done just before doing the act or preparing for it (for example, making intention to pray the fard of zuhr prayer before going to the mosque). [again, check the last part to be sure]
