Is the Fajr prayer considered valid if I pray two rak'ahs for the Sunnah of Fajr, then two rak'ahs intending them as the regular Sunnah (ratibah) of Fajr, then supplicate, then pray the Fajr prayer, knowing that I have heard that the two rak'ahs of the ratibah are the Sunnah of Fajr, while I have also heard that four rak'ahs are prayed before Dhuhr, and two after it, and two after Maghrib, and two after Isha, and two before the Fajr prayer?
