نِيَّة
Niyyah is a fundamental principle in Islamic worship — Nabi Muhammad (shallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Actions are judged by intentions.' For Haji and Umrah, the jamaah haji must form a clear intention in their heart specifying which type of ibadah haji they intend to perform: Haji Ifrad, Haji Tamattu, Haji Qiran, or Umrah alone. This intention is typically made at the Miqat and is often verbalized along with the Talbiyah. While the intention resides in the heart, scholars recommend verbal expression to reinforce it. The Niyyah determines the obligations that will follow, including whether a Dam sacrifice is required. All four schools of jurisprudence agree that Niyyah is a prerequisite for the validity of worship.
