AL-KAFI #1424: PERLUKAH DUA NIAT UNTUK MANDI WAJIB BAGI DUA HADAS BESAR?
Are two intentions needed for the obligatory bath when a person has two major ritual impurities, such as after intercourse and menstruation?
Short answer
A single intention for the obligatory bath is sufficient for two or more causes that require it, such as intercourse and the onset of menstrual blood.

Summary
A single intention for the obligatory bath is sufficient for two or more causes that require it, such as intercourse and the onset of menstrual blood. There is no need to make a separate intention for each impurity. The intention is made when washing the first part of the body, and the fatwa lists it as one of three obligatory conditions of the bath, along with removing impurities and washing the whole body with water.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
cukup sekadar satu niat sahaja untuk mandi wajib tersebut bagi dua atau lebih sebab yang mewajibkan mandi bagi seseorang tersebut.
