Is the regular bath, for which the intention of ghusl from janabah for prayer was not made, sufficient for it?

Whoever delays until the prayer time has passed must repent to Allah with sincere repentance, for abandoning prayer is one of the greatest sins. Ghusl from is not valid according to the majority of scholars unless accompanied by an intention, based on the Prophet's saying, "Actions are but by intentions." Therefore, ghusl performed without the intention of removing janabah does not remove the ritual impurity. He must make up all the prayers he missed while in a state of janabah, whether those he abandoned or those he performed after the invalid ghusl, because these prayers are not accepted without proper purification.
