Is a silent vow still valid? I intended to fast on a specific Friday without stating it verbally. Should I observe the fast on that chosen Friday, or wait until after the event?

If you made an intention to fast on a specific day as a vow or Nathr نذر then you must fast on that specific day even if you did not state it verbally. If your intention was to fast after the event, then you are not bound to fast but after the event. If your intention was for fast anyway with out a condition, then you can fast any time before or after the event.
