Validity of Salah Timings

Question

If someone read fard Salah without first checking the timetable to make sure its timing had started, then after Salah checked and it had in fact started, is this Salah completely valid?

Answer

If in his thoughts that time has been started and when he checked after reading the Salah, time was started actually, his Salah is valid.

And if in thoughts that time hasn’t started yet and he read Salah, his Salah is not valid.
