The Shaykh : They say that the imam must intend his status from the beginning of the prayer, meaning he must intend that he is the imam, and the ma'mum must intend his status from the beginning of the prayer, meaning he must be a ma'mum. If that is done during the prayer, it is not valid.

The Shaykh : The madhhab says: let each person pray for himself.
