The Ruling on the Obligation of Intention in Deeds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is intention obligatory in all deeds?

Answer:
There is no doubt; intention is necessary in all acts of worship, meaning the acts of worship. The Messenger of Allah (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 the validity of all acts of worship. As for customary acts, they do not require intention. Leaving off what is prohibited does not require intention.
