Summary
Combining the intentions of unrestricted (mutlak) voluntary prayers, such as the hajat prayer and the repentance prayer, in one prayer is permissible. Voluntary prayers tied to a specific cause or purpose, such as rawatib, dhuha, eclipse, istisqa', tarawih, witr and funeral prayers, cannot be combined with one another, but may be combined with unrestricted prayers such as tahiyyatul masjid and the wudu prayer. Performing each prayer separately with its own intention is nevertheless more virtuous because it involves more acts of worship.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Diharuskan untuk kita menggabungkan niat-niat solat sunat yang bersifat mutlak seperti solat hajat digabungkan dengan solat sunat taubat.
