Clarification On Niyyat For Prayer
JazakAllah Ali Bhai. I really appreciate you sharing this with me. Honestly, I’ve been trying to stay away from internet fatwas now as much as possible. No doubt, I have benefitted tremendously from them. But at the same time, they’ve caused me so much stress that I’ve had to spend quite some time unlearning and clarifying a lot of what I’ve read. My goal was only to make sure that I was performing wudu and prayer as best as possible, but I did not anticipate that there would be strict rulings on every little, minute thing. Alhamdullilah for this site and kind folks like you, otherwise I don’t see how I would’ve been able to function every day.
There’s no problem in individually doing it. Bidah / innovation is in asserting that it’s part of religion and imposing it on others.
