Mistakenly making a wrong intention before salaah
Question
Sometimes, when I am in a hurry, I make a wrong intention before I start my salaah. For example, when I am supposed to offer Asr, in a hurry I make the intention of zuhr and start my prayer. I then realise this mistake during my prayer. What should I do?
Answer
If you had intended Zuhr and you said Asr then your intention is valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
