The Maghrib prayer behind an imam who is praying the 'Isha' prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh is praying, and the mosque and the congregation are fighting. What is better? Should I pray as a masbuq (one who joins late) and pray as a masbuq, and pray 'Isha' with him, and pray with my father?
The Shaykh:
Both options are permissible. It is permissible for you to pray Maghrib first, then join them in the remainder of the 'Isha' prayer, and this is better. It is also permissible for you to join them with the intention of Maghrib; when they stand for the fourth rak'ah, you sit and wait until the imam says the taslim, and you say the taslim with him, or you say the taslim for yourself before the imam. This is permissible, but the preferred manner is that you pray Maghrib first, then join them in the remainder, and this is better. Yes.
