Making multiple intentions when performing the Sunnat Salaahs

Q: When reading say maybe 4 sunnats of Zuhr Salaah. Can one make multiple intentions, for example, intention for wudhu salaah as well. Or is multiple intentions only acceptable in nafl salaah? 

A: There are two opinions in this regard. According to some ulama, multiple intentions can be made in the sunnat salaah, and according to other ulama, multiple intentions can only be made in nafl salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
