311. Dua of the beginning of fasting
There is no masnun dua at the beginning of fasting. However, it is important to make the intention for fasting the night before the start of fasting. The conscious purpose in the mind is called intention. This is the intention of the believer to fast before fasting, before going to bed at night or during sahri. It is not Sunnah to say "Nawaituan" or to do so in any other way.
