The ruling on making one intention for all acts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener whose name is indicated by two letters, (A. J.), our brother asks a collection of questions, one of which says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:... the hadith. Is it permissible for a Muslim to make one intention for all the acts he performs in the future, because it is difficult for him to bring to mind the intention for every act, or does every act have an independent intention? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Every act has an intention, and a general intention is not sufficient. Prayer has an intention, fasting has an intention, visiting the sick has an intention, and so on, every thing has an intention. So it is obligatory to have an intention in your acts of worship, the acts of 'ibadah. One prays with an intention, fasts with an intention, gives charity with an intention, performs Hajj with an intention, and visits the sick with an intention, and so on. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1 So the intention has a great status. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
