Does good intention intercede on behalf of its owner, or are there stipulations for it?
Worship is not accepted unless two fundamental conditions are met: sincerity of intention for God, and conformity with the by following the Prophet (peace be upon him), for God Almighty says: (So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous work and not associate anyone with the worship of his Lord). If one of these two conditions is not met, the servant does not benefit from his deed. A good intention alone is not sufficient if it contradicts the Sharia, except in two cases: transforming customs into acts of worship, and earning reward without action if the intention is firm and sincere and an obstacle intervened between the servant and the action.
