Translation text: السؤال: إذا لم أتذكر صوم الغد من رمضان The question: If I forgot I have to fast the following day in Ramadan, وليس عندي ما يعارض الصوم بإذن الله تعالى but I do not have anything that prevents me from fasting, by Allah's will, فهل علي قضاء ذلك اليوم؟ do I have to make up that fast? وإذا نوى الشخص صوم رمضان أثناء الأذان ولا يدري هل المؤذن يؤذن قبل طلوع الفجر أم بعده And if a person intends to fast in Ramadan during the Adhan (of the morning prayer) and doesn't know if it is the Adhan that is before or after Fajr (dawn), ما حكم نيته؟ جزاكم الله خيرا what is the ruling of his intention? May Allah reward you with good. الجواب: لا بد من العزم والنية الجازمة للصوم من الليل The answer: It is a must to have a resolve and a firm intention to fast from the night, لقوله ﷺ: لا صيام لمن لم يجمع النية من الليل because of the Prophet's ﷺ statement: "There is no fasting for the one who did not make his intention from the night." فإذا نوى الصوم قبل طلوع الفجر صح صومه So, if he intends to fast before Fajr time, his fast is valid, أما إذا أصبح وهو متردد لا يدري هل يصوم أم لا but if the morning comes and he's hesitant, not knowing whether to fast or not, فإن صوم الفرض لا يصح then the obligatory fast is not valid, لأنه مضى جزء من النهار وهو لم يعزم على الصوم لذلك الجزء؛ يجب عليه القضاء because part of the day has passed and he did not intend to fast for that part. He must make up that fast. أما صيام النافلة فيجوز للإنسان أن ينويه من النهار As for Nafl (optional) fasting, then it is permissible for a person to intend it during the day, بشرط أن لا يكون قد فعل ما ينافي الصوم قبل نيته provided that he did not do something that would break his fast before his intention, من بعد طلوع الفجر إلى نيته from after Fajr time until he makes his intention. فيصح الصوم بنية من النهار Then this fast is valid with an intention during the day, إذا لم يكن فعل ما ينافي الصوم من أكل أو شرب أو جماع بعد طلوع الفجر if he did not do something that would break his fast, such as eating, drinking or sexual intercourse after Fajr time. ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://youtube.com/channel/UCSZQ94R_9fXNumssaa5BAkg 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
