Sufficing with the Absolute Intention in the Rawatib Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In the rawatib prayers, is the absolute intention sufficient?I mean: If I have missed prayers, should I intend that this is the pre-Zuhr rawatib, for example, and this is the post-Zuhr rawatib, or is it sufficient to specify it as merely the Zuhr rawatib?
A specific thing must be specified. So if you intend to pray the Zuhr rawatib, you must intend the Zuhr rawatib if you have several rawatib prayers.
Likewise, the obligatory prayer must be specified. You should not intend it to be merely an obligatory prayer, but rather intend it to be Zuhr or 'Asr. A specific thing must be specified.Except that some scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said: If the specific prayer is not accompanied by another, it is sufficient for a person to intend the obligatory prayer of that time.
For example: If you come to pray Zuhr and Zuhr is absent from your mind, but you come to pray the obligatory prayer of the time,They said: there is nothing wrong with that; because specifying the time is equivalent to specifying the prayer. This is a position that offers leeway for people and facilitates things for them.
