LessonsKitab al-Sawm: Categories of Fasting and Rules of IntentionQuiz

وَالنَّذْرِ الْمُطْلَقِ،
Translation: And fasts owed under an unspecified vow.

A specified vow names the intended fasting day; an unspecified vow imposes fasting without naming a day. Quduri places the latter in the liability-based category.

Consequently, a morning-only intention does not discharge an unspecified obligatory vow. The legal conditions for a vow’s validity are a separate subject and should not be inferred from this timing rule.
