Making multiple intentions in Nafil Salaah
Q:
- In 2 rakaats of Nafl Salaah, is it permissible to make multiple niyyahs for the salaah? Eg. Salatut Taubah, Salatul Haajat and Salaatus Shukar - all for 2 rakaats only. Or is every Nafl Salaah limited to one niyyah alone?
- I am a Hanafee. Once in a while, during my Nafl Salaah that I read alone, usually at home, I make "Rafa' Yadain" with the intention of practising upon the hadith on the authority of Abdullah bin Omar (Radiyallahu Anhuma) in which Nabi (Sallalallahu alayhi wa salam) did Rafa' Yadain, which appears in Bukhari Shareef. It is not a constant practise of mines, but rather once in a while, in seclusion, do I practise this. I understand that as Hanafee's it is more virtuous not to do it, but I enquire with regards to permissibility. Can I continue doing this once in a while? If not, were all my past nafl salaah's considered invalid because of this?
