Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second listener, may Allah keep him safe, asks: I heard a person issue a ruling to someone regarding the shortened prayer (qasr). He said that if you enter the prayer with the imam intending Maghrib while the imam is praying 'Isha', you should enter with him intending Maghrib, pray three rak'ahs, then sit for the tashahhud and say the taslim. Then, enter with the imam in the fourth rak'ah intending 'Isha, and complete 'Isha with four rak'ahs, because the imam is a resident. Is what he said correct?
Answer:
It is not correct. You do not divide the prayer between two prayers, 'Isha and Maghrib. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
