some one told me that to make niyyah before Salaat is wrong
Question
some one told me that to make niyyah before Salaat is wrong. Can you please give me that hadith in where the prophet did it
Answer
Niyyah (intention) is actually from the heart. It is not necessary to make a verbal intention before performing Salaat. However, if a person is in doubt and the verbal intention helps one to strengthen the intention in the heart, then one may make verbal intention before Salaat.
One should not regard verbal intention as necessary and a precondition for the validity of Salaat.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
