			Can I make the intention to fast a voluntary day of fasting after the sun has risen?
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:44
			Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah. There's two opinions amongst Allah in this it was a
regular habit of the prophet SAW Selim to wake up and ask if there's any food. And then when they
would say no, we don't have food prepared, he would say it's okay, I'm fasting anyway. sobre la
hora, he was, he was that kind of person. Generally speaking as a part of your fasting Nia is
something that should be done, it should be done before 5g arrives. And there should be this, you
know, process in your mind that I'm going to be fasting. However many are automatic. They say for
voluntary fasting, it's something that you can wake up in the morning, and that you see that? Oh,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:17
			you know, Subhanallah I forgot today is Monday. Now, it shouldn't mean that I'm going to miss out on
a whole day of fasting that I regularly do as an act of worship, just because I didn't come to that
thought that it was Monday and I'm going to fast tomorrow, regularly. So if it's a regular act of
devotion that you normally do Mondays and Thursdays are 1314 15th of every month, then there's no
problem with that in sha Allah. The second condition that some of the amount they speak about is if
you're inspired. So just say you woke up and your husband said Oh, I forgot to tell you I'm fasting
today. You will you say well, I wish I was fasting with you. I'm going to continue fasting, you
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:34
			haven't eaten anything. It's a little bit before fudge, and then you continue your fast. Those
should be acceptable in sha Allah. Allahu Tada. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe to the
