Al-Allāmah, Shaykh Sulaymān al-Alwān (فرج الله عنه) stated:
Teaching the fiqh of fasting just prior to the month of Ramadan brings about the greatest benefit, and maximizes comprehension when compared to reviewing it six or eight months prior to Ramadan.
The Muslims today attentively await the month of Ramadān and so it is imperative to learn the rulings related to fasting.

⚠️Other Weak/Fabricated Ahādīth Related to Fasting & Ramaḍān:
❌ The virtue of the month of Ramadân over other months is like the virtue of Allâh over the people.
[Al-‘Ajalûnî and az-Zarqânî said it is fabricated]
❌ ‘Whoever feeds the fasting person from the halâl food and drink, the angels pray upon him.’ [it is narrated by ibn ‘Adî]

⚠️ Hafsah, the wife of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم narrated that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: ‘whoever does not intend to fast before fajr, then there is no fast for him.’
Al-Muhaddith ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d said:
This hadîth was authenticatally raised [as being the words of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم] by al-Hâkim and al-Khattâbî, but as for the major preservers such as Ahmad and others, they said that it is mawqûf (the words of Hafsah) and this is what is correct, and it has come from Hafsah and ibn ‘Umar, and I do not know anyone who differed with them from the sahâbah.
NOTE: this is only regarding the fasting that’s obligatory, like ramadân, or taking a vow to fast, etc.
As for the voluntary fasts, then the scholars differed, the minority saying it must be before fajr, whereas the majority said it can be intended after fajr, as long as the person hasn’t done anything that breaks the fast from the time of fajr, like eating etc. Ahmad and others mentioned that a person can intend to fast anytime they want (for the voluntary fasts), even if it’s just before maghrib.

#WEAKSTORY
Abû Salamah narrated that Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydillâh said: that two men from Balî came to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They had become Muslim together, but one of them used to strive harder than the other. The one who used to strive harder went out to fight and was martyred. The other one stayed for a year longer, then he passed away. Talhah said, I saw in a dream that I was at the gate of paradise and I saw them [men]. Someone came out of paradise and admitted the one who had died last, then he came out and admitted the one who had been martyred. Then he came back to me and said: “Go back, for your time has not yet come.”
The next morning, Talhah told the people of that and they were amazed. News of that reached the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and they told him the story. He said: "Why are you so amazed at that?" They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, the first one was the one who strove harder, then he was martyred, but the other one was admitted to Paradise before him. The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Did he not stay behind for a year?" They said: "Yes." He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "And did not Ramadan come and he fasted, and he offered such and such prayers during that year?" They said: "Yes." The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth."
[Narrated by ibn Mâjah and Ahmad, and it was weakened by al-Wâdi’î and al-Hasanî, due to a break in the chain. Yahyâ ibn Ma’în said: Abû Salamah did not hear from Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydillâh]

Every year with the entrance of the month of Ramaḍān, different greetings are spread between people welcoming the month with various supplications asking Allāh (ﷻ) to accept our deeds.
In general, this is a pleasant custom and there is nothing wrong with it.
This year, however, one such greeting received was the following:
هذه تهنئة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأصحابه بقدوم رمضان، وأنا أهنئكم بها. بلغنا الله وإياكم صيام هذا الشهر المبارك وقيامه:
اللهم أهله علينا بالأمن والإيمان والسلامة والإسلام والعون على الصّلاة والصّيام وتِلاوةِ القُرآنِ. اللهمَّ سلِّمنَا لِرمضان وسلِّمه لنا وتسلّمه منّا متقبلا يا رَبَّ العالَمِين
“This is the congratulations of the Messenger of Allāh to his Companions with the arrival of Ramaḍān: O Allāh, bring it upon us with blessings and faith, and security and Islām, and aid upon the prayer, fast, and recitation of the Qur’ān. O Allāh, deliver us to Ramaḍān and deliver it to us, and receive it from us in approval, O Lord of the worlds.”
This (or a form of it) was reported by Ibn Abī Dunyā and Ibn ‘Asākir [1] in mursal form from Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī ibn al-Ḥusayn (Abū Ja’far, Muḥammad al-Bāqir) from the Prophet (ﷺ), and this is a baseless rejected narration. The one who reports it from Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī is Jābir ibn Yazīd al-Ju’fī, and he is an abandoned liar. There is further weakness in the chain, but this is the most severe defect.
Ibn al-Jawzī also reports a form of this narration from his shaykh Aḥmad ibn Manṣūr – who is unknown - without a chain to ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib from the Prophet (ﷺ), so this narration is baseless as well. [2]
A much later report of this can be found by al-Rāfi’ī [3] attributing this to ‘Ubādah ibn aṣ-Ṣāmit from the Prophet (ﷺ), but the one who narrates this from ‘Ubādah is ‘Abd-ul-‘Azīz ibn ‘Umar who did not hear from any of the Ṣaḥābah. And the one who reports it from ‘Abd-ul-‘Azīz is Abū Ja’far ar-Rāzī who narrates munkar reports and makes many mistakes. And being that this is a much later report (al-Rāfi’ī died in the year 623 AH), the chain is riddled with those who are unknown.
The first part of this supplication can also be found in narrations attributed to the Prophet (ﷺ) that if he saw the hilāl for Ramaḍān then he would say:
اللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْيُمْنِ وَالْإِيمَانِ وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللَّهُ
“O Allāh, bring it upon us with blessings and faith, and security and Islām. My Lord and your Lord is Allāh.”
◽️These reports are munkar and no attention should be paid to those who accepted it based on supporting narrations. After reporting this ḥadīth, at-Tirmiṫhī said, “This ḥadīth is ḥasan ġarīb” – which is a phrase he uses for narrations he considered to have defects. [5]
Abū Dāwūd, after reporting a couple of aḥādīth under the chapter heading: “What a man should say if he sees the hilāl,” he then said: “There is nothing from the Prophet (ﷺ) under this chapter heading that is musnad ṣaḥīḥ.” [6]
The last portion of the narration can be found in a munkar report attributed to al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī from the Prophet (ﷺ) – and this is a mursal report as well – as reported by Abū Bakr ash-Shāfi’ī. [4]
◽️There are supplications attributed to some of the Salaf, but suffice it to say, any such attribution to the Prophet (ﷺ) is without merit.
And Allāh (ﷻ) knows best.

Saying Ramadan Mubarak:
Some scholars believe that it is lawful for Muslims to congratulate each other for the entering of Ramadan by saying "Ramadan Mubarak " and the like.
Their evidence for this is the Hadith reported by Ahmad that the Prophet peace be upon him said:
"…. A blessed (Mubarak) month has shadowed you …".
Ibn Rajab said that this Hadith is an evidence for the lawfulness of congratulating one another for the coming of Ramadan'.

“Giving a greeting for the start of Ramadan is (not) Bidah! The Prophet [ﷺ] greeted! Ibn Rajab, Alsuyooty, Ahmad, Shafeey and others permitted it.”

"Al-Muhaddith ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d mentioned there is nothing authentic to say we congratulate the entrance of Ramadân, not by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and not by his companions. But he said there is goodness in supplicating for each other, like asking Allâh to aid us in our fasting and night prayers, to make us from those whose deeds are accepted, to give victory to the muslims, and similar things" —Via Ahlus-Sunnah

'Umar Ibn Khattab's instructions for the first of Ramadan
It is reported that on the first night of Ramaḍān, ‘Umar – رضي الله عنه– would pray Maghrib, then say (to the people):
Sit down. Then he would give a small address:
Verily the fasting of this month has been made a duty upon you, and standing in night prayer has not been made a duty upon you, but those amongst you who can stand in prayer should do so, for it is from the extra good deeds about which الله told us: so whoever cannot stand in prayer, let him sleep on his bed.
And beware of saying: I will fast if so and so fasts and I will stand in night prayer if so and so stands in prayer. Whoever fasts or stands in night prayer, he must make this for الله. And you should know that you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for a prayer.
Minimize any vain or false speech in the houses of الله (mosques; he said this two or three times).
Let none of you fast a few days before the month (in order to avoid missing the beginning of the month; he said this three times).
And do not fast until you see [the crescent of the new month] unless it is overcast. If it is overcast, count [the previous month] as 30 days. Then do not break your fasts until you see the night upon the mountain (i.e. you are sure the sun has set).

Shaykh ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d حفظه الله said:
Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever does not intend to fast before Fajr, then there is no fast for him.”
This Hadîth was authentically raised [as being the words of the Prophet ﷺ] by al-Hâkim and al-Khattâbî. But as for the major preservers such as [Imâm] Ahmad and others, they said that it is Mawqûf (words of Hafsah), and this is what is correct. And it has come from Hafsah and ibn ‘Umar, and I do not know anyone who differed with them from the Sahâbah.
SIDE POINT: Shaykh Sulaymân al-‘Alwân mentioned that making the intention to fast everyday in Ramadân (before Fajr) is obligatory, and that it was the opinion of the majority of scholars.

❝ Some Imāms regularly recites Sūrah {Al-Aʿlā} and {Al-Kāfirūn} in dual rak'ah, then {Al-Ikhlāṣ} in the Witr rak’ah. The Sunnah is to recite them in three rak’ahs with one salām, not two salāms.
It is permissible for the worshipper to pray Witr with one rak’ah, or with three or five continuous rak’ahs. But if he wants to recite {Al-Aʿlā}, {Al-Kāfirūn} and {Al-Ikhlāṣ} — then the Sunnah method is for it to be performed in three (rak'ahs) with one salām. ❞

I say — and Allah is the source of strength — The above ⁽¹⁾ clearly shows that nothing has been proven in this chapter, that is valid to rely on. There by, the fasting person can make use of any dhikr or supplication which is convenient to him. There is no problem whatsoever, in not restricting himself to a specific supplication or specific dhikr.
That which supports the supplication and remembrances being not restricted, is the fact that these weak aḥādīth itself came in different wordings (i.e. as different supplications). And also this matter has been proven from some of the salaf — as we have previously mentioned — with a good chain, on the authority of Al-Rabīʿ bin Khuthaym رحمه الله :
{ he, Al-Rabīʿ bin Khuthaym used to say: (الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي أعانَنِي فَصَمْتُ، وَرَزَقَنِي فأفْطَرْتُ) “All praise is due to Allah who assisted me, so I fasted; and who provided me, so I could break my fast”}. — narrated by ibn Abī Shaybah.
Overall, Allah عز وجل has promised to answer all prayers (Al-Duʿā). So it is upon the person to seek the hours of virtue and its times, especially in the month of Ramaḍān. والله أعلم. ❞
