Verifying the Intention with the Heart
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: How is the intention verified, and how is it formed?
Answer:
The intention is the purpose in the heart. It is not an act of the tongue, and one does not verbalize it by saying, "I intend to pray" or "I intend to perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)." That is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Rather, one intends with his heart and enters into the act of worship.
