IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS RAMADHAN SIRI KE- 97 : HUKUM TIDUR SEBELUM BERBUKA, BANGUN SETELAH SUBUH
Is the next day's fast valid if a person sleeps before breaking fast and only wakes after dawn, without having made the intention during the night?
Short answer
According to the majority view, the fast of someone who sleeps before breaking fast and wakes after true dawn is invalid because the intention was not made at night, and the day must be made up later.

Summary
According to the majority view, the fast of someone who sleeps before breaking fast and wakes after true dawn is invalid because the intention was not made at night, and the day must be made up later. The Maliki school allows a single intention for the whole month of Ramadan. Given the very short time available for breaking fast in the questioner's location, this ruling leans towards the fast being valid if he had made a monthly intention following the Maliki view.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
puasa bagi seseorang yang tidur sebelum berbuka dan bangun setelah terbitnya fajar sadiq adalah tidak sah mengikut pandangan jumhur.
