Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : To summarize, the intention to invalidate an act of worship does invalidate it. The intention to invalidate an act of worship invalidates it, whether in an obligatory prayer, in the closing salam, or in the intention to commit a prohibited act during the worship; that does not constitute this message.
Answer : It invalidates it, even if there is hesitation in the intention as to whether it will cut it off or not. The correct view is that it does not invalidate it, because the default is that what was established remains as it was until it is changed from that state. Yes.
