The Dhikr of Sleep and the Intention for Ablution and Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person, for example, intends to sleep for the Zuhr prayer, does he recite the adhkar? And is the intention made only at the time of prayer, or at the time of wudu' and prayer?
Answer:
The adhkar for sleep are intended for sleep at night; that is what is reported as being recited at that time. The intention is for the prayer. The intention for the prayer is one thing, and the intention for wudu' is another; each has its own independent intention, because wudu' is an act and the prayer is a separate act.
