Question

Is it correct to make multiple intentions when performing Sunnat-e-Muakkadah Salaah? For example, when performing the 2 Rakaats Sunnat-e-Muakkadah of Fajr, Zuhr, Maghrib and Isha, can you also make intention for Salaat-ut-Taubah, Salaat-us-Shukr, Salaat-ul-Haajat etc. at the same time?

Answer

If one combines Nawafil Salaah together with his Sunnat-e-Muakkadah Salaah, then the reward of both Sunnah and Nawafil will be attained Insha’Allah. There is no harm in combining multiple intentions.

Which sunnah salaah are emphasised (muakkadah)?

“Sunnah Salaah should not be unduly missed during a journey. However, if the Musaafir is in a hurry then, apart from the Sunnah of Fajr, it will be permissible for him to omit the other Sunnah Salaahs.”
