Is it obligatory to specify the intention when performing wudu'?

Question : May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it obligatory to specify the intention when performing wudu'? Is this wudu' for an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one? And does he specify the prayer?

Answer : It is not required. If he intends to perform wudu', his state of ritual impurity is removed, whether for an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one, and whether he specifies the wudu' for a particular prayer or not. That is, even if he intends with his wudu' that he is performing it for a voluntary prayer, such as performing wudu' for the Duha prayer, for example, and then the time for the midday prayer enters, let him pray with that wudu' and there is no blame on him. Yes.
