I made an intention of fasts but failed to keep them. Is there qadha?

Question:

If I make niyyah to keep Shawwal fasts but i cant keep them due to illness, do I need to make qadha for them?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If you had simply expressed an interest in keeping the Shawwal fasts but did not make an intention on the day, then there is no Qadha due upon you.[1] However, if you broke a fast [other than a fardh fast in Ramadhan] having started it, then one qadha will be due.[2]

وأما حكم فساد الصوم : ففساد الصوم يتعلق به أحكام بعضها يعم الصيامات كلها ، وبعضها يخص البعض دون البعض ، أما الذي يعم الكل : فالإثم إذا أفسد بغير عذر لأنه أبطل عمله من غير عذر وإبطال العمل من غير عذر حرام ، لقوله تعالى { : ولا تبطلوا أعمالكم } وقال الشافعي : كذلك إلا في صوم التطوع بناء على أن الشروع في التطوع موجب للإتمام عندنا ، وعنده ليس بموجب
