The Place of Intention and the Ruling on Vocalizing It

He says: I intend for the ablution such that I say without vocalizing: "O Allah! I intend the ablution in this pure water for purification for prayer." And when praying, I intend without vocalizing, also: I intend to pray the Dhuhr prayer, for example, present for Allah the Exalted. And my question here is: Is the intention valid in this? And is vocalizing permissible or not?
Answer: Intention is necessary in all acts of worship, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . So the intention is in the heart, in prayer, in Hajj, in fasting, in all acts of worship, in charity, and so on. But vocalizing is not prescribed. For one to say "I intend" with his tongue, speaking: "I intend to pray Dhuhr, so and so, Asr, so and so, Maghrib, so and so," this is not prescribed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, nor did his Companions, nor the righteous predecessors. Rather, the intention is in the heart. So what some people do, saying: "I intend to perform ablution, so and so, I intend to pray Dhuhr four rak'ahs as imam or as ma'mum... and so on," all of this has no basis. Rather, it is from religious innovations. The intention is to be in the heart, not with the tongue. Yes.
