Question
I forgot to remind my children of the intention to fast before dawn. Is their fast valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The intention for fasting in the month of Ramadan is valid from after Maghrib until the time of the Great Dhuhr, which is 45 minutes before the Dhuhr call to prayer. The intention should be made by recalling that we will fast, and this is undoubtedly present with you and your children. And God knows best.
