Question: May Allah be gracious to you. Some people say at the call to prayer: “O Allah, for You I have fasted.” Is there anything wrong with that?
(Allahumma laka sumtu wa bika amantu wa `alayka tawakkaltu wa `ala rizqika aftartu
(‘O Allah, I have fasted for You, believed in You, placed my trust in You, and broken my fast on your provision’))
Shaikh Abdul Azeez bin Abdullah bin Baaz:
There is a weak hadith about it, and if someone says it, there is no problem in that, but it is not authentic. The hadith is weak, but its meaning is correct: one has fasted for Allah and broken the fast for Allah. However, the hadith should not be called a Sunnah. It can be said that the general act of supplication is a Sunnah, the general act of supplication that one does when breaking the fast is a Sunnah, and it is hoped that it will be accepted.
Question: May Allah be gracious to you, I mean before the Fajr Adhaan?
Answer: At the breaking of the fast and during the fast, it is all the same. If someone says it, there is no harm, but it is not a Sunnah. (End)

Benefits from the Fatwa of Shaikh Abdul Azeez bin Abdullah bin Baaz (Rahimahullah):
1- The Dua is indeed proven from a weak Hadith. And not an authentic Hadith.
2- The Shaikh said that there’s no problem in using the Dua. This shows that Duas from weak Ahadith can be used.
3- One of the conditions being that the meaning of the Dua should be good.
4- That Dua should not be claimed to be from the Sunnah, since it’s not proven authentically.
5- The Dua may be accepted because Duas are generally accepted during the time of Suhoor and Iftaar.
