Question
when must inniwajato be read when one is performing sallat in jamaat
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Our illustrious jurists mention that a person should recite
I have, indeed, turned my face straight towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not one of those who associate partners with Allah. [6:79]
before one could make his intention for salah. Some scholars give permission to recite it after reciting thana in nafl salah only.
And Allah knows best
Wassalam
