Intention of Zakat

1965. A person should give Zakat with the intention of Qurbat, that is, to comply with the pleasure of Almighty Allah. And he should specify in his Niyyat, whether he is giving the Zakat on his wealth, or Zakatul Fitrah. However, if it is obligatory on him to give Zakat on wheat and barley, it is not necessary on him to specify whether he is paying in lieu of wheat or barley.
