The Details of the Question
While intention is Sunnah in Wudu (ablution), why is it fard in tayammum (wudu with soil)? The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Intention is fard (obligatory) in tayammum, because it is performed with soil; it does not essentially purify the dirt; it is only a substitute for water. Since it is a kind of cleanliness that takes the place of wudu, it will not be valid without intention.
