Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A man combined the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers in the time of 'Isha'. When he said the opening takbir, he intended 'Isha' while forgetting, and during the prayer he remembered and changed his prayer to Maghrib. Is his action valid?
Answer:
No. He says: If one changes his intention from one obligatory prayer to another, both the prayer he changed from and the prayer he changed to are invalid. This is not permissible.
