Pronouncing the Intention of the Number of Rak'ahs

Question
Is it permissible not to pronounce the intention of the number of obligatory rak'ahs, for example, to say: I intend to pray the Asr prayer with four rak'ahs?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: There is no need to specify the number of units for the obligatory prayer after I intend to pray the noon or sunset prayer, and it is recommended to verbalize the intention, and God knows best.
