Fathwa - She said ‘I will break my fast if I find treatment’ but she did not

Question
One day in the previous Ramadhaan before dawn, my teeth ached much and
I did not expect this to continue after dawn. In the morning, the pain
became more severe for a long period of time. I could not bear it
while I was fasting. I told my mother that, if I found treatment, I
would break my fast. I intended to break my fast if I found treatment
but I did not find any and did not break my fast. I was swallowing my
saliva frequently because of theintensity of the pain. I was able to
sleep with difficulty till Al-Maghrib. Should I make up for this day
because I intended to break my fast if I had found treatment?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His slave and messenger.
If a fasting person intended to break his fastand was firm in this
determination, his fasting is definitely invalidated by this. However,
scholars differed concerning suspending the intentionupon the presence
of treatment as to whether it invalidates fasting or not.
Ibn Qudaamahsaid in Al-Mughni: "If one intended that, if he finds
food, he would break his fast and that, if he did not find any, he
would complete his fast, then there are two opinions from scholars
concerningthis. The first is that this invalidates fasting because he
did not keep firm in his intention to fast. Moreover, one may not
start his fasting with such an intention. The second is that he
continues to fast becausehe did not have a complete intention to break
his fast. Intentions may not be suspended ona condition. That is why
no fasting is not valid with such an intention.
The opinion of invalidating the fast was held Saheeh by Al- Mirdaawiin
Al-Insaaf ;he said: "According to our school (the Hanbali), if one
hesitated in breaking his fast and intended that he would break it
later or said, 'if I find food, I will eat or, otherwise, I would
complete my fast,' then. Itwas said that it invalidates fasting
because he was not firm in his intention. Al-Athramreported that this
does not avail him of the obligation until he is determined to fast
the entire day. I said: 'This is correct'."
If the sister who posed the question repeats fasting this day to be on
the safe side, this will be better for her in order to free her of any
liabilities and to be safer for her religion.
Allaah Knows best.
