The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I am a traveler and I wanted to pray the 'Isha' prayer shortened, I am a traveler.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I wanted to pray the 'Isha' prayer shortened, but I found people praying the Maghrib prayer. How do I pray 'Isha' with them?
The Shaykh:
Pray with them and complete the prayer. Pray with them and complete the prayer, because you are praying behind an imam who does not shorten the prayer, so you complete the prayer. When he says the taslim from the third rak'ah for Maghrib, you stand up and you perform the fourth rak'ah. Yes.
