Wuḍū Should Be Performed with the Intention of Gaining Proximity to Allah
Seventh condition: the intention of proximity to Allah (swt).Issue No.304- One should perform wuḍū with the intention of proximity to Allah (swt). Therefore, if a person performs wuḍū with the intention of showing off (rīyā) cooling himself, etc., the wuḍū will be void. However, if he is determined to perform it with the intention of obeying Allah, and meanwhile he knows that he will become cool also, there is no harm in it.
