The Condition of Intention in Deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding intention, do you say that it is obligatory in all deeds, Shaykh, or only in certain deeds?

Answer:
In acts of worship, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.إنما الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
Sahih al-Bukhari 1
Therefore, intention is a condition for acts of worship; no act is accepted or valid without the intention of a lawful act. Yes.
