Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We have Abdullah with us from Jeddah. Go ahead, my brother Abdullah. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Turn off the television, Abdullah. Turn off the television because there is an echo between us. I am in the street, not in the house. Go ahead, go ahead. Hello. Yes, go ahead, my brother. My brother, I have two questions. Go ahead. Regarding after the Adhan for all five prayers, I enter the mosque and pray two rak'ahs. Okay. Yes. Is it permissible to intend with three intentions? Yes. And my second question is that the imam of the mosque is always in a hurry in the prayer, meaning, subhan Allah, in the ruku', yes, yes, when reciting al-Fatihah, we do not finish al-Fatihah, he immediately relaxes. Okay, Shaykh Salih, in his first question, he asks about the rawatib prayers, and whether each two rak'ahs has an intention?
Answer:
Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1 So one intends at the takbir, whether for an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one. One intends at the takbir, so that his prayer is valid, because the intention is a condition for the validity of the prayer, whether voluntary or obligatory.
And the rawatib, along with the obligatory prayers, include rawatib before the obligatory prayers, and rawatib before and after them, and there are prayers that have no rawatib either before or after them. For example, the Zuhr prayer has a rawatib before it, and it has a rawatib after it.
The 'Asr prayer has no rawatib either before or after it. The Maghrib prayer has a rawatib before it. The 'Isha' prayer has a rawatib before it, and it has a rawatib after it. The 'Isha' prayer has a rawatib after it, and as for before it, a person prays whatever voluntary prayers he wishes as absolute voluntary prayers.
The Fajr prayer has a rawatib before it, and it is the most emphasized of the rawatib. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave them, neither in residence nor in travel. So the Muslim should be consistent in performing them. Yes.

The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.
