📖 FIQH OF RAMADAN
📑*⃣4⃣
The Niyyah (Intention) of Fasting
Niyyah refers to the intention of the heart. Verbal utterance is not a
condition.
📌 Intention is a condition for the fast. If one does not make intention of fasting but abstains from eating and drinking the entire day, then too his fast will not be accepted.
It is better to make intention for the fast of Ramadān from the night before i.e. before subh sadiq and if not then at least one and a half hour before zawāl (midday) with the condition that one abstained from eating and drinking during that day.
