For Dream friends who suddenly want to perform the voluntary fasting of Syawal in the morning, it is permissible to recite the intention when deciding to fast the voluntary fast. Because the requirement to have the intention at night only applies to obligatory fasting. For voluntary fasting, a person can have the intention during the day as long as they have not engaged in activities that invalidate the fast, such as eating, drinking, and other things that invalidate the fast since dawn.

Next, according to Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, there are extraordinary virtues that can be obtained from performing voluntary fasting in the month of Shawwal. These virtues are as follows: completing the fasting of Ramadan, increasing the rewards of fasting to be equivalent to fasting for a year, making voluntary fasting in Shawwal as a form of gratitude to Allah SWT, and ensuring the continuity of the worship performed in the month of Ramadan is not interrupted.
