Intention has two aspects:
The first is according to the people of the spiritual path (Ahl al-Suluk), which means that the deed must be purely for Allah, seeking His Countenance. This is the fundamental principle for a Muslim, and one should not succumb to the whispers of ostentation (riya').
The second is according to the jurists (Fuqaha'), where for purification, the intention of removing impurity (raf' al-) or making prayer permissible (istibahat al-salat) is sufficient.
