Should I keep fasting today?

I planned to fast today but I forgot to set my intention before sleeping. When I got up this morning I made it, but now I'm not sure. Last night I woke up with a bad cough and drank water almost unconsciously – I can't recall exactly when that happened. It's making me really sad. I think I’ll just continue my fast anyway…

Man, the coughing and drinking water thing sounds like it was unintentional. If you truly forgot, your fast is still valid. Don't beat yourself up, keep going. Allah knows your struggle.

Bro, don't overthink it. Intention is in the heart, you don't have to say it out loud before sleeping. Just make niyyah when you wake up, it's valid if you haven't eaten or drunk. Keep fasting, in sha Allah it's accepted.

Chill, akhi. You made the intention in the morning, that's fine. And that water incident? Forgetfulness doesn't break a fast. Your sadness shows your sincerity. Keep it up, may Allah make it easy.
