The ruling on entering the Maghrib prayer with the imam before making up the 'Asr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
'Abd al-Aziz from Jeddah, please, my brother 'Abd al-Aziz. Long may you live. I am a person who travels from Jeddah to Ta'if, and when I arrived in Ta'if, I found the imam had called for the Maghrib prayer, and I had not prayed the 'Asr prayer while traveling. So I joined him in the Maghrib prayer, and after I finished it, I prayed the 'Asr prayer as a make-up. Is this valid, or is it wrong?
The Shaykh:
No, this is a mistake; because the order is obligatory. You must pray 'Asr first, then join them in the Maghrib prayer.
The questioner:
If I pray 'Asr, I will miss the congregation for the Maghrib prayer.
The presenter:
All right, listen to the answer.
The Shaykh:
My brother, I say there is no harm, my brother. Pray, even if you miss the congregation. Pray 'Asr first.
The questioner:
Yes, yes.
The Shaykh:
Maghrib.
The presenter:
All right.
The questioner:
I mean, then the order. May Allah reward you with good. Yes, the order is obligatory.
