Question:
And may Allah bless you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, this brother Abu 'Adil is confused about the niyyah (intention). Is it required in all actions, or is it specific to certain acts of worship only?
Answer:
The niyyah (intention) is a condition for the validity of all acts of worship. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1 Therefore, no act of worship, whatever its type, is valid without the niyyah (intention). Yes.

May Allah reward you with good.
