Is the intention required for wudu' that I specify a particular prayer for that wudu'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the obligation of intention in wudu' mean that I must specify a particular prayer for that wudu', for example?
The Shaykh:
No, no, you do not tie it to a specific prayer. You perform wudu' to remove the state of ritual impurity, whether you pray or not. Yes.
The questioner:
If I perform wudu' with the intention that it is for one prayer, and then I pray five prayers with that wudu'?
The Shaykh:
Even a hundred prayers, if Allah wills. As long as the state of ritual impurity is removed and the wudu' remains valid and has not been broken, you may pray as much as you wish with it. Yes.
