Asalamu Alaykum.

when we pray Salah, do we require to say the intentions?

Some Sheikh from Huda says it is a biddah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UtGoxTtRu8

There are two different things: Lafazh and Niyyat. What he meant (I just glided through the video, not listening attentively) was the lafazh (the utterance of the intention loudly) before prayer, which is usually done by the followers of Shafi'i. The saying of the "intention" out loud was done to firm the intention in the heart because for us (Shafi'i) we have to do intention, Allahu akbar, and takbir at the same time.

If you are Hanafi, follow what Hanafi ustadh told you. Wallahu a'lam.
