Is it permissible for a traveler to enter the prayer with the intention of Dhuhr while joining a congregation that is praying Asr?

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, if a man travels and does not pray Dhuhr, and the time for the Asr prayer enters, and he is prevented, and he finds a congregation praying Asr, does he enter with the intention of Dhuhr or Asr, or does he enter with the intention of a voluntary prayer with the imam and pray after the imam concludes the prayer? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. It appears that this question has already been answered from what we have heard. We have given this same example, and we say now in answering this question: It is permissible for a person, if he comes and intends to pray Dhuhr and finds the people praying Asr, to enter with them with the intention of Dhuhr, even if they are praying

The questioner : the Asr prayer. The evidence for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Actions are only by intentions, and every person will have what he intended." But we have before us now a large group of students of knowledge. If someone were to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said and the intention is now different, the answer is that

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

The Shaykh : [regarding] the difference from the imam, he said: "When he says the takbir, say the takbir, and do not say the takbir until he says it. When he bows, bow, and do not bow until he bows." So the difference is in the intention and in opposing him in that the intention

The questioner : is the cause of everything being prevented.
