Answer

Niyyah simply means to intend in your mind that you are performing a certain salah.

For fard salah it will be necessary for you to intend that you are performing such and such a salah eg. Zuhr salah of today, while for nafl salah, all you have to do is make niyyah that you are performing salah. The same would apply to sunnah salah. (Imdaadul Fattaah Pg.240-242)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
