		According to the majority of scholars, niyyah or intention in relation to fasting in the month of Ramadhan should be performed on the first night of Ramadhan, before starting the fast.
		Niyyah in fact is an action of the heart, not a duty of the tongue, so if we pronounce the niyyah it means that we confirm the intention of the heart.
		In short, every religious service, or Islamic act of worship must be preceded by the niyyah otherwise it will be valueless - it may be just nature, or a custom or cultural practice and not religious worship and ritual.

	Islamic Institute of Toronto - Answers
		Can you define the acceptable niyyah (intention) of fasting; is it necessary to formulate the niyyah to fast every single day of Ramadhaan; or is it enough to make the niyyah to fast the whole month in the beginning?
		Niyyah is an extremely crucial and integral aspect of worship in Islam; this is true of salah, siyam, zakah and pilgrimage; it also applies to all of the acts of devotion and good works that we perform.
		If anyone does so, we cannot consider his action as sinful, although there is no need for him to do so; it is best that we stick to the practice of Salaf al-ssalih who had not been in the habit of pronouncing the niyyah in words in such acts of worship.

		However, the time for making niyyah spans the whole day, in that if the worshippers did not do anything which may detract from the validity of fast, they can still make niyyah for fast, even if it comes within hours or minutes before the time of ending the fast.
		Not making niyyah or not contemplating fast for all that time is immaterial, so long as the worshippers remained in a state of abstention.
		In the first three, fast is forbidden, even if it is not observed with the niyyah of qurabah; conversely, the fourth type is forbidden when it is observed with the niyyah of qurbah; it shall not be haraam, if it is not observed with the niyyah of qurabah; it would not be deemed lawful.
