Question
I made niyyat of performing 10 raka'ts Nafl, but did not begin with it. What is the ruling?
Answer
If you merely made an intention, not a Vow (Nathr), then the Salaat will not be incumbent. Cancelling the niyyat before commencing the Salaat is valid. On the other hand, if one initiates even Nafl Salaat with Takbeer Tahrimah, then breaks it, qadha becomes Waajib.
