Entering the 'Isha' prayer with the imam with the intention of Maghrib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: I entered with the imam while he was praying. He says: I entered with the imam
The Shaykh:
Yes?
The questioner:
and he was praying the last of the night prayer, and I thought it was the sunset prayer until the imam stood for the fourth [rak'ah], for the fourth, so I realized it was the night prayer, and I had forgotten that I had prayed the sunset prayer. What is the ruling on my night prayer with the intention of the sunset prayer behind the imam?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible for you to enter with the imam with the intention of the sunset prayer, but when he stands for the fourth, you sit for the final tashahhud. If you wish, you may say the taslim, and if you wish, you may wait until the imam says the taslim and you say it with him. This is permissible. But you say that you entered with the intention of the sunset prayer, and then it became clear to you that it was the night prayer, and I do not know what you did or what you intended when it became clear to you that it was... did you remain with the intention of the sunset prayer or not? What does he say?
The questioner:
He says: I entered with the imam while he was praying the last of the night prayer, and I thought it was the sunset prayer until the imam stood for the fourth, so I realized it was the night prayer,
The Shaykh:
meaning the imam combined the night prayer with the sunset prayer; he is the one who made you think so, otherwise it is not possible to think that the night prayer in its time is the sunset prayer, unless he combined them by advancing the later prayer. Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner asks: Does the obligatory prayer become invalid if I pray inside the Ka'bah?
The Shaykh:
No, repeat the question; we have not finished with this one.
The questioner:
He says: I entered with the imam while he was praying the last of the night prayer.
The Shaykh:
Meaning he combined it with the sunset prayer, perhaps. Yes.
The questioner:
And I thought it was the sunset prayer until the imam stood for the fourth, so I realized it was the night prayer, and I had forgotten that I had prayed the sunset prayer,
The Shaykh:
When you enter with the imam with the intention of the sunset prayer and you have forgotten that it is the sunset prayer? I do not know what this question is? Yes.
The questioner:
What Allah willed.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
