*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: How does a person make the intention
to fast in Ramadhaan? Is simply knowledge of the start of
Ramadhaan sufficient to fast the rest of the days?
Response:
The intention takes the form of a determination and a resolve
to fast, and it is imperative to determine the intention to
fast in Ramadhaan during the night and every night.
And
with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and his family and his companions.
