When to Make Intention for a Qadha Fast

Reading Time: < 1 minute
  1. For Qadha fasts it is necessary to make the intention before Subh Saadiq, that is during the hours of the night.
  2. If the intention is made after Subh Saadiq, when it is already Fajr time or later, then the fast will not be a Qadha fast. It will be a Nafl fast.
  3. The Qadha fast will have to be kept the next day or thereafter.
