Combining two intentions in one optional prayer

20-3-2007 | IslamWeb

Question:

Mufti Sahib when offering for example 2 rakaats of salatul haajaat, are we allowed to make niyyat of other nafil namazes with it like 2 rakats of salatul taubah and 2 rakats of salatul taheyatul masjid and 2 rakats of salatul shukar. Jazakallah

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

It is permissible to perform a prayer with two intentions in some cases, like the prayer for a need [Salat Al-Haajah] and the prayer for salutation to the mosque is included in it, but in some other cases it is not permissible to combine two intentions in one prayer. For more benefit, kindly refer to Fatwa 82766.

For more benefit on how to perform Salat Al-Haajah, please refer to Fatwa 82384

Allaah Knows best.
