All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam

Although the intention for salah, is a condition for salah, you must be organised and prepared, when you stand in the 'qiyam' position. If you have done that, then it does not matter afterwards whether you are in doubt, if you have made the intention or not. If you stick to this procedure, insha'Allah there should not be a problem.

If however you do forget to say it, then there is no sin (gunah) as such, as forgetting once or twice, maybe an excuse for you not to gain any sin. However, if you do it intentionally, then this may lead you to being neglectful in salah, which should be avoided.

May Allah the Almighty help us all to perform salah, in the manner provided, by His Beloved Messenger Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam (Amin).


Jazak'allah for your question.
