Question:
- Does every day of the fast in Ramadan need a separate intention for it, or is it enough to make your intention once for the entire month?
Answer:
- It is enough in Ramadan to make one your intention one time in the beginning of the month.This is because the one fasting, even if he didn’t make his intention for that day during the night, it was still in his intention from the beginning of the month. But if the fast was broken during the month because of traveling, sickness or the like, then it is upon him to start his intention over again. This is because his intention was broken by his leaving off of the fast for what ever reason he left it off.
