The Intention of Fasting

SUMMARY: Fasting is only valid if one has the intention to fast before dawn.

Something similar was narrated from 'Aishah and Hafsah: "There is no fast except for one who intends to fast before dawn". (Daif)
قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَحَفْصَةَ، مِثْلَهُ لاَ يَصُومُ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَجْمَعَ الصِّيَامَ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ

This hadith also emphasizes the importance of having an intention when performing any act of worship as it will be accepted by Allah only if it is done with sincerity and a pure heart.
