The Ruling on Multiplying Intentions in a Single Act
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, is it valid to have multiple intentions in a single act, such as a person who enters the mosque after the adhan, prays two rak'ahs, and intends them to be the greeting of the mosque, the sunnah of wudu', the two rak'ahs between the two adhans, and the prayer of istikharah? And does he receive reward for all these intentions in that one act?
Answer:
My brother, may Allah expand your provision, and since you are seeking good, why do you gather all of this and leave it all in two rak'ahs? Pray the prayer for each cause; it is greater for you and better.
