The Details of the Question
Can we end the prayer by saluting while standing upright after saying the takbir (Allahu Akbar) if we intend incorrectly or deficiently for the prayer?
The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

Intention in prayer is fard (obligatory). The prayer will be invalid if the intention is made incorrectly. When someone realizes this, it is necessary to end the prayer in any stage of it.

It is necessary to pay attention to the following: The source of intention is the heart. Thus, if the person intends correctly from the heart, the intention will be valid. For example, a person who is praying the noon (zuhr) prayer, intends by heart to pray for the noon prayer but intends by tongue incorrectly such as for the asr (afternoon), the prayer will be valid since the intention made by the heart is valid.
