Chapter on Intention of Fasting
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 2|Chapter 5
عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:» مَنْ أَصْبَحَ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ اَلصِّيَامَ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ فَلَهُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ نِصْفِ اَلنَّهَارِ ثُمَّ يَقْضِي ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَصُومَ بَعْدَ مَا اِرْتَفَعَ اَلنَّهَارُ فَلْيَصُمْ فَإِنَّهُ يُحْسَبُ لَهُ مِنَ اَلسَّاعَةِ اَلَّتِي نَوَى فِيهَا«.
From him, from al-Husayn, from al-Nadr, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: “Whoever enters the morning while intending to fast, then it occurs to him to break the fast, he may break the fast between himself and the middle of the day. Then he makes up that day. But if it occurs to him to fast after the day has risen, then let him fast, for it is counted for him from the hour in which he intended it.”
