=== CONDITIONS OF FASTING === 1st= ISLAM : Among the prerequisites for the performance of the religious duties is that they should be performed by a Muslim, and who ever apostalized- while he is fasting - his fasting would be refused, and he would have to settle for the day he did not fast later on if God guided him to islam. 2nd= SETTING THE INTENTION :- Fasting without setting the intention for it during the night preceeding the day of fasting is considered in propper. Setting the rntention is made, during the period starting at sunset and ending just before dawn, for what was related about Hafsat, the wife of the prophet (s.aw), that the messenger of God(s.a.w) said Those who do not set the intention to fasting before dawn, will have no fasting the next day) . The meanin of this is that the fasting of a person who does not set his intention to fast before dawn, is refused. The place of the intention is the heart: thus is (the intention) shoul not be uttered aloud. Instead of saying it aloud, the fasting person, should prepare himself for the last meal before dawn break (SAHUR) and should investigate the time specified to stop eating , drinking , etc
