Quote:
The time for intention lasts up to midday for specifically obligatory, specifically necessary, sunna and recommended fasts. This is mid-way between the beginning of fajr time to sunset (the beginning of maghrib time).
The intention for non-specifically obligatory and non-specifically necessary fasts must be made before the beginning of fajr time.
The intention for non-specifically obligatory and non-specifically necessary fasts must be made before the beginning of fajr time.
What does "specifically obligatory/necessary" or "non-specifically obligatory/necessary" mean? Are qada's considered specifically obligatory or non-specifically obligatory?
