The Time for Intention to Fast the Six Days of Shawwal
Is it necessary to make the intention for fasting the six days of Shawwal at night, or is it permissible to make the intention on the same day of fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible to fast the voluntary fast with the intention from sunset until the major forenoon, which is an hour and a quarter before noon, and God knows best.
