If one said 'Yotzer Ohr' (opening) but concluded with 'Ma'ariv Aravim' (the evening conclusion) — has one fulfilled the obligation?
Synopsis
All authorities agree that concluding with the wrong chatimah (Ma'ariv Aravim instead of Yotzer HaMeorot) invalidates the blessing, even if the opening was correct. The Rema adds that this applies whether only 'Yotzer Ohr' was said or the full blessing was recited with a wrong conclusion.
