Is it obligatory to repeat a fard prayer if the affirmation of intention was forgotten before starting it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The intention for a specific prayer must be set. Therefore, if one does not bring to mind the intention for the obligatory Fajr prayer before entering into it, this obligatory prayer is not considered sufficient, and it must be made up. It is better to perform the prayer of Fajr before the obligatory prayer.
