▪️If one intends to break his fast in the day but doesn't, then according to the most correct opinion, his fast is not adversely affected by this; like one who wants to speak during the prayer but doesn't.
_ _
Some of the scholars said that he is not fasting as soon as he stops intending to, so to be on the safe side, he should make up that fast later.
_ _
Apostasy, however, invalidates the intention.

▪️For one who is fasting Ramadan, it is enough to have the intention to fast at the beginning of the month. If the intention is interrupted by breaking the fast due to travel or sickness – for example – he has to renew the intention when the reason for breaking the fast is no longer present.

▪️Making the intention the night before is not a condition of general nafl (voluntary) fasts, because of the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (رضي الله عنها), who said:

*_*The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) entered upon me one day and said, ‘Do you have anything [food]?’ We said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘In that case I am fasting.’”_*
*(Reported by Muslim, 2/809, ‘Abd al-Baaqi).

_ _
But in the case of specific nafl fasts such as ‘Arafaah and ‘Aashooraa’, it is better to be on the safe side and make the intention the night before.

▪️If one starts an obligatory fast, such as making up for a day missed in Ramadan, or fulfilling a vow, or fasting as an act of expiation, he must complete it, and he cannot break it unless he has a valid excuse.
_ _
In the case of a naafil fast, *_“the one who observes a voluntary fast has the choice either to complete it or break it”_*
(reported by Ahmad, 6/342) – *even if there is no reason to break it.*
___*PAGE 5*___.                                    ✍️...

_ _
But will the one who breaks his fast for no reason be rewarded for the fasting he has already done? Some of the scholars say that *he will not be rewarded*
(al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 28/13)
_ _
So it is better for the person who is observing a voluntary fast to complete it, unless there is a valid reason for him to stop fasting.

▪️If one doesn't know that Ramadan has started until after dawn, he has to stop eating and drinking for the rest of the day, and he has to make that day up later, according to majority of scholars.
___*PAGE 6*___.                                   ✍️...

▪️If a captive knows that Ramadan has begun by sighting the moon himself or being told by a trustworthy person, he has to fast. If he does not know when the month starts, he should act according to what he thinks is most likely. If he later finds out that his fasting coincided with Ramadaan, this is fine, and *if his fasting came after Ramadan, this is also fine,* but *if his fasting came before Ramadan, he has to make it up.*
___*PAGE 7*___.                                    
✍️...

If part of his fasting coincided with Ramadaan and part of it did not, what coincided with it or came after it is fine, but what came before is not OK. *If the matter never becomes clear to him, then his fasting is fine because he did the best he could, and Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope.*
(Al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 28/84).

*▪️Once the entire disk of the sun has disappeared, the fasting person should break his fast, and not pay any attention to the red glow that remains on the horizon*, because the Prophet (ﷺ) said: *_“Once night comes from there and the day disappears from there, and the sun has set, the fasting person should break his fast.”_*
(Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, no. 1954; the issue is also mentioned in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 25/216).
___*PAGE 9*___.                                    ✍️...

▪️The Sunnah is to *hasten in breaking the fast*. The Prophet (ﷺ) would not pray Maghrib until he had broken his fast, if only with a sip of water.
(Reported by al-Haakim, 1/432; al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 2110).

▪️If a fasting person cannot find anything with which to break his fast, he should *have the intention in his heart to break his fast*, and he *should not suck his finger*, as some of the common people do.
___*PAGE 10*_____.                   
✍️...

_ _
He should beware of breaking the fast before the correct time, because *_the Prophet (ﷺ) saw some people hanging from their hamstrings with blood pouring from the corners of their mouths, and when he asked about them, he was told that they were people who broke their fast before it was time to do so.”_*
(The hadeeth is in Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah, no. 1986, and in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1/420).
