The
ruling concerning stating one's intention
Question:
What is the ruling concerning stating one's intention for
the prayer and ablution?
Response:
The ruling is that such is an innovation. It has not been
narrated from the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) or from his Companions. Therefore,
one must avoid it. The place of the intention is the heart.
It is never needed to state an intention.
