Must I repeat the intention for Ramadan every night?
Question
Must I repeat the intention for Ramadan every night?
Answer
The intention for the obligatory fast of Ramadan is made in the heart. A single intention at the start of the month suffices for the days one knows he will fast, so long as he has not broken that intention. It is still better to remember the fast each night. There is no required spoken formula.
