Intention of Voluntary Fasting
I woke up at noon and remained without food or drink until the afternoon, and at the time of Asr, I decided to fast and intend to fast six days of Shawwal. Is this permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Your intention for fasting is valid if you intend it an hour and a quarter before noon, which is known as the great forenoon, and after that, the intention for fasting is not valid. And God knows best.
