Question:
May Allah be merciful to you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the acts in which it is permissible for a Muslim to verbalize his intention?
Answer:
There are no acts in which one verbalizes the intention. It was only reported regarding entering the state of ihram that one says, "I intend," or "I want to enter ihram for Hajj," or "I want to enter ihram for 'Umrah." This is informing about what is intended, not about the intention itself. It is informing about what is intended, not about the intention itself. Yes.
