The answer

It is best for a Muslim, when intending to perform an act of obedience, to purify his intention solely for worship. However, it is permissible to combine with it an intention for something that does not contradict it, according to the majority of scholars, because a permissible purpose does not contradict an act of worship, such as intending to cool down with ablution or a ritual bath. Therefore, whoever intends permissible amusement along with maintaining kinship ties, there is no harm upon him.
