Eating and Drinking After the Intention of Fasting
If a person has a pre-dawn meal and drinks water with the intention of fasting, then later feels thirsty and eats or drinks before the call to prayer, is he considered to have broken his fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Eating after the intention of fasting does not invalidate it if it is before the call to prayer. The time for the intention in the obligatory fast is between sunset and the time of the major dawn, and eating after that does not harm if it is before the call to prayer. And God knows best.
