He started fasting and then intended to break the fast
I had the intention to fast in Shawwal, and on the second day I remembered that I forgot to take my medication during Suhoor, so I intended to break the fast, but I did not break it. At ten in the morning, I intended to complete the fast. Is this permissible for me, or because I intended to break the fast, is it not permissible to complete the fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for you to complete the fast as long as you do not break it in reality, for mere intention is not sufficient to invalidate the fast without committing an act that breaks it, and God knows best.
