Intention for Voluntary Fasting

Question
Is it required to have the intention for fasting in Shawwal?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: it is a voluntary fast, and its intention is valid until just before the major forenoon, which is one hour and fifteen minutes before noon, and God knows best.
