Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I caught the imam while he was praying 'Isha', and I had not prayed Maghrib because of sleep. What is obligatory for me? Do I pray 'Isha with him and then pray Maghrib, or do I pray Maghrib first?
Answer:
Pray Maghrib first, then join him in what remains of 'Isha. If you join him with the intention of Maghrib and sit after the third rak'ah, you may either say the taslim or wait for him and say the taslim with him; there is no harm in that. Yes.
