The ruling on the intention to convert a permissible act into an act of worship

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. It is known that converting a permissible act into an act of worship is done through intention, such as eating and sleeping. Is it obligatory for me to intend it with every sleep and every meal, or should I intend in general that my eating and sleeping are for the sake of Allah?

Answer:
No, a general intention is sufficient. You intend it in each case at its time. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad. Yes.
