Shart

Shart (Arabic: شرط; pl. Shuroot شروط; meaning “prerequisite”), in Islamic jurisprudence, refers to a condition or set of conditions that must be in place prior to carrying out an act for it to be considered valid. According to the Hanafi Madhhab, for example, declaring an intention to enter into Ihram for Hajj or Umrah is considered a Shart.
