Question
Before sleeping, a person intended to fast the next day of Ramadhaan. However, he overslept and did not participate in Sehri. Is his fast valid?
Answer
The person had niyyat to fast, however, when his eyes opened, Sehri time had already expired, and he found himself in the Fast. Thus his niyyat was attached to the Fast. There was nothing in between to cancel his niyyat. His fast is valid.
