Tarwiyah fasting, observed on the 8th of Dzulhijjah, is highly recommended for Muslims not performing Hajj. It serves as a precursor to the Arafah fast the following day.
Here are the virtues of Tarwiyah fasting according to scholars:
To strengthen your worship, here is the intention to recite:
نَوَيْتُ صَوْمَ تَرْوِيَةَ سُنَّةً لِلّٰهِ تَعَالَى
Nawaitu shauma tarwiyata sunnatan lillâhi ta‘âlâ.
Meaning: “I intend to observe the Tarwiyah fast as a sunnah for Allah the Almighty.”
نَوَيْتُ صَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ سُنَّةً لِلّٰهِ تَعَالَى
Nawaitu shauma ’arafata sunnatan lillâhi ta‘âlâ.
Meaning: “I intend to observe the Arafah fast as a sunnah for Allah the Almighty.”
The intention should be made in the heart and can be recited from the night until before Subuh. However, for sunnah fasting, the intention is still permissible until before Zuhur if no acts that invalidate the fast have been done. (Z-10)
