Summary
A voluntary fast may be intended during the day. The condition is that the intention is made before the sun passes its zenith. The ruling relies on a hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated by al-Daraqutni.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Puasa sunat boleh diniatkan pada siang hari sebelum matahari tergelincir, berdasarkan hadis Aisyah R.Anha, seperti riwayat al-Daraqutni.
