Hit My Ball First, but Pocketed Opponents Ball Before My Own

My question is whether this shot is legal or not.

The 5 ball and the 12 ball were frozen on the cushion with a little space between them. My ball was the 5 ball which I was trying to bank to the opposite corner. I hit my 5 ball clean but in the process, my 5 ball hit the 12 ball. Then, the 12 ball was sunk first in the corner but my 5 ball also sank in the opposite corner where intended.

Is that shot legal or not?

   If it was a clean hit any action except scratching, making the eight or fouling doesn't mater. Exception, not established the rules prior to playing the game. Anyone who changes the rules mid game is like changing horses mid stream. A NIT.
