1 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,136 Combining intentions. 2 00:00:15,220 --> 00:00:18,080 means a person does a single deed. 3 00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:21,900 with two intentions. There is detail to this. 4 00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:25,660 If he combines them. 5 00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:28,640 Between a lesser and a greater one. 6 00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:35,480 And the intended purpose is achieved by one of them. I'll give an example. 7 00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:39,400 So this is permissible. For example. 8 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,820 A person woke up on Friday while in a state of janabah. 9 00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:49,660 He woke up on Friday while in a state of janabah. 10 00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:56,656 So he must do ghusl for janabah and Friday ghusl. Janabah is greater. 11 00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:59,400 Even if we say Friday ghusl is obligatory. 12 00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:06,160 So the ghusl for janabah is greater. The point of Friday ghusl is cleanliness. 13 00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:14,080 So if a person performs ghusl for janabah, intending janabah and Friday ghusl. 14 00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:17,260 the purpose of Friday ghusl is achieved. 15 00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:19,940 So this is permissible. This. 16 00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:21,520 is allowed. 17 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:28,400 Or suppose a person entered the mosque after the Maghrib adhan. 18 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,520 He intended. 19 00:01:33,820 --> 00:01:37,316 the Sunnah the Prophet ﷺ urged by saying: 20 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,796 "Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghrib, 21 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,676 pray before Maghrib," 22 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,360 Then a third time: "for whoever wishes." And Tahiyyat al-Masjid. 23 00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:50,156 So this is correct. 24 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,056 Because Tahiyyat al-masjid means not sitting till he prays two rak'ahs. 25 00:01:56,140 --> 00:01:57,116 And he already has. 26 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:04,020 Done so. And the second case is combining a lesser with a greater. 27 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,420 And the greater one does not allow a shared intention. 28 00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:12,120 That is, the greater act must be exclusive. 29 00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:22,140 Like fasting the six of Shawwal while intending a make-up fast. 30 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,120 Fasting the six days and making up a missed fast in one day. 31 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,030 So here he combined a greater act with a lesser one. 32 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,769 And the greater does not allow combining; make-up is like on-time. 33 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,636 Likewise. 34 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,820 You can't combine intentions in Ramadan fasting. 35 00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:38,620 You can't combine intentions in make-up fasts. 36 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440 The correct scholarly view here is this. 37 00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:47,960 The intention is devoted to the greater one. Combining is void. 38 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,280 So it counts only as make-up. 39 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,580 This is the soundest scholarly view, though some scholars void the whole act. 40 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:57,976 due to combining. 41 00:02:58,060 --> 00:03:01,060 But the correct view is that the intention becomes exclusive. 42 00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:03,496 For the greater act; combining is invalid. 43 00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:06,380 Meaning, he did not fast the six; it counts only as makeup. 44 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,440 The third case is combining two equal or closely related acts. 45 00:03:15,140 --> 00:03:20,920 And each of the two has an independent purpose. 46 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,840 Here, the sound view among scholars is: neither prescribed nor allowed. 47 00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:31,420 Example: 48 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:45,260 Combining the intention for the Fajr Sunnah. 49 00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:54,820 For example, combining Fajr Sunnah with another optional prayer. 50 00:03:56,860 --> 00:03:57,380 Meaning: 51 00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:01,276 He wants to pray extra and pray the Fajr Sunnah. 52 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,640 or Dhuhr Sunnah and another voluntary prayer, with one intent. 53 00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:09,900 So we say: this has its own purpose, and that has its own purpose. 54 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,820 So one should not combine them. 55 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,680 Another case is to combine two equal or identical acts. 56 00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:30,880 And the aim of the second is met as in the brother's question. 57 00:04:33,020 --> 00:04:35,040 For example, you fast the thirteenth day. 58 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,980 The purpose of fasting the white days is to fast on the thirteenth day. 59 00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:45,200 If you fast the thirteenth day. 60 00:04:46,780 --> 00:04:48,020 With intent for the six days. 61 00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:55,140 Then you have fasted the thirteenth day and the six days. 62 00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,320 But here is the question. 63 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,060 Do you get credit for fasting three days each month along with the six? 64 00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:09,620 Meaning, it is allowed. 65 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,120 And indeed, you fasted the 13th, 14th and 15th, whose fasting is urged. 66 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:24,300 But the question is: can it be said here, you fasted 6 and 3 days of Shawwal? 67 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,780 It seems—Allah ﷻ knows best— this should not be said. 68 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,940 Because the six of Shawwal have a purpose, and the three do too. 69 00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:39,680 So if it is your habit to fast three days of every month. 70 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,056 And you fasted the six days, and they fell on the 13th, 14th, and 15th. 71 00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:49,020 Then fast three days of the month. 72 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,116 So that you will have fasted the three as three days. 73 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,010 That is like lifelong fasting: three days each month. 74 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,420 And you will have fasted the six days. 75 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,096 This too is like lifelong fasting, since Ramadan counts as ten months 76 00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:11,140 and six days equal sixty days— that is two months, making a year. 77 00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:15,160 So this is intended, and this is intended. Allah knows best.
