Is it valid to fast in atonement for Ramadan for one who intended to fast, then hesitated in the intention with the beginning of the dawn (Fajr) call to prayer (adhan), then firmly resolved to fast before the adhan finished?

Your fast is valid and there is nothing upon you, for the intention was made at night, and hesitation in breaking the intention of fasting after the time for it has begun does not invalidate it.
