Question

Is it permissible to read one Nafl salaah with more than one intention? For example, to read with the intention of Salaatul Istighfaar and Salaatul Haajat?

Answer

The Fuqaha have stated that it will be permissible to perform a Nafl Salaah with multiple intentions (such as making intention for Salaatut Taubah, Salaatush Shukr, Salaatul Haajat, etc. in one Salaah). However, the reward for performing each Nafl Salaah independently is greater. [Re: Fataawa Uthmaaniyyah Vol:2 Pg:305]

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.”
