Islamic Laws on fasting: Making the intention to fast before or after mid-day

Ayatollah Sistani

SHAFAQNA- Islamic Laws on fasting according to the Fatwas of the Grand Ayatollah Sistani.

Intention (Niyyah) : Making the intention to fast before or after mid-day

Ruling 1533: If someone goes to sleep before the time of subh prayers in Ramadhan – or on any day which he assigned for keeping an obligatory (Wajib) fast – without making the intention to fast, and he wakes up before midday (Dhuhr) and makes the intention to fast, his fast is valid. However, if he wakes up after zuhr, he must, as a precautionary measure, abstain [from the eight things that invalidate a fast] for the rest of the day with a general intention of attaining proximity to Allah (Qasd-al-Qurbah Al-Mutlaqah) [i.e. with the intention of attaining proximity to Allah without specifying any particulars about the fast], and he must also keep a qada fast for it [i.e. he must make up a fast for it after Ramadhan].

L’horaire pour former l’intention de jeûner

Article 548: Pour une personne éveillée, la limite finale de l’horaire requis pour former l’intention de jeûner se situe juste avant l’athân de la Prière de l’Aube. Cela signifie qu’on doit entendre en ce moment-là faire le jeûne; si par la suite on vient à être inconscient (à cause du sommeil par exemple) de son intention, celle-ci reste valable.
En ce qui concerne le jeûne recommandé, l’horaire pour former l’intention de jeûner peut être n’importe quelle heure de la journée, même juste avant le crépuscule (maghrib), à condition qu’on n’ait commis, entre-temps, aucun acte qui invalide le jeûne.
