According to those who hold that there is a need generally, potentially netilat yadayim shouldn't require intention since it is similar to tevilah which doesn't require intention (according to most, see Shulchan Aruch YD 198:48). However, the Pri Megadim distinguishes and says that only for optional mitzvot such as tevilah and shechita don't require kavana but netilat yadayim in the morning is an obligatory mitzvah and as such requires kavana. (This distinction of the Pri Megadim is highlighted by the Ramban Chullin 31b s.v. vha who says that mitzvot tzerichot kavana is for any obligatory mitzvah but not for a matir.) Yet, the Veyashev Hayam 1:2 (Rav Yakov Moshe Hillel) argues that it doesn't require kavana since it is less severe than tevilah and even tevilah doesn't require intention. This is relevant to the practice of the Chaye Adam (cited by Biur Halacha 4:1) to wash twice, once before going to the bathroom and once afterwards.</ref> | ||
